The noble intention was to expose all the new API and new generic types
in the split out kbproto headers through XKBcommon.h. It turns out that
would be a massive amount of work in the server. Someday, but first just
wedging in XkbCompileKeymap* would be good.
Most of the API is in new internal xkb*.h headers. In order to allow the
XKBcommon.h header to be used from the server, we can't pull in other
headers from kbproto since the server has its own copies. However, types
that are different (XkbDescRec, XkbAction) still have Xkbc equivalents
here, and I think they should be used in the server.
Added a test program, rulescomp, which takes a RMLVO set and generates a
XkbcDescPtr. This is essentially what the xserver will do, except that we
still need to access some xkbcomp internal API to make it work.
Following the kbproto convention, the headers will be named XKBcommon.h
and XKBcommonint.h. Furthermore, they'll be installed in X11/extensions
directory with the rest of the XKB headers.
A test program and script have been added for checking the XkbCommon
keysym functions. This has already highlighted an error in handling of
keysyms from XF86keysym.h.
