[oi-dev] Update/addition of XCB components

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hi Alexander,


1) Minor issue: I see that xcb-proto delivers contents to site-packages. We

I do not think so... To be honest I do not remember the reason, so I can
enable 64bit build.

I added the XCB components because of some software (Enlightenment and some
imaging libs) needed them. Recent Qt also uses it.
Aside from the packages I added there should not be big consumers of these
components, but recent software makes use of them.
Accordingly to the changelogs bumping libxcb from 1.9.x to 1.11 does not
introduce incompatibilities (1.10 -> 1.11 is a bug fixing step).

The build order is as Alan said and this is the order I had deliberately
chosen for listing the branches.

 Best regards,

Aurelien
