There's no real documentation, but there are a couple of things to bear
in mind:
  * you need to convert to autotools -- take the basic framework from a
    simple driver such as xf86-video-newport,
  * you need to change all #include "foo.h" of installed X headers, to
    #include <X11/foo.h> or #include <X11/extensions/foo.h>, as
    appropriate.
