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.
