Sorry for letting this get lost in our massive backlog, but I've finally
gotten this pushed to git master:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xscope/commit/?id=51c3ab198e6fa440961d02f6af13b1d73d698101

I've also pushed a followup to fix up the NAS protocol options (-A, -n, -a),
though I'm not sure anyone still uses that protocol:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xscope/commit/?id=f7af80a0ad7807e35f426a2377d7312b415c9d68

Even after digging through the code, I can't explain why the -T option exists
- it just seems to add 0x20 to every character code before printing strings.
Maybe someone else can figure that out.

Thanks for the patch!
