I can deal with simply duplicating dsimple.c, it hasn't been touched in ages
and I can't think of a sane shared lib for it.
XKB code I'm less sure about, I'd have to look closer.
I wouldn't worry too much about the overhead of creating new automakery for
each program. The clients are pretty much trivial, doing seven is not
appreciably harder than doing four.
