Xcomposite depends on Xfixes: unneccessary?

Hello,

After attempting to compile libXcomposite by itself, i hit the
"requires Xfixes" dependency.
However... I've been examining Xcomposite a bit, purely at the code
level, and I don't see any actual reference to Xfixes at all.
...apart from including the Xfixes.h header file, that is!

Why is a dependency defined?

If it is not really necessary, then may I suggest a patch of
