Cool, I'm interested.  I've been thinking of doing this for wayland
and X, and one thing I wanted to avoid was linking to libX11.  That's
only to call XStringToKeysym, right?  We should just copy the files
over and include the hash table in libxkbcomp, I think.  If you have a
git repo, can you put it up somewhere?
