  I think this is kind of a flaw in
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/VersionNumberScheme
that may happen in other packages if for some reason an
intermediate release must be done. In this case it was done
to ensure people building from tarballs would not have
these kinds of issues.

  The correction would be to either make git libXi require
xext >= 1.0.5, or change back git version of xext to 1.0.99.1.

  But it was my fault to not properly foresee the consequences
of doing a new release of xextproto, a suggested in the bug
report :-) And then, need to do a libXext release also...

  I think the best approach now is to go with changing back
git xext version... until a 1.1.x release is made available.
