* Save caller info so that protocol errors give useful tracebacks (use
Carp::longmess?)
* Use (Self|Auto)Loader to reduce startup time; would require major
restructuring
* Documentation needs more examples, better explanations. Borrow text
from official protocol spec?
* Real test suite
Porting:
64-bit architectures?
avoid '/' as path separator; use File::something?

X11::Xlib -- XS to libX11.a
Ken Fox has done this as part of X11-Motif, calling it
X11::Lib.
X11::Display, X11::Window, X11::GC, etc -- more OO, more
intuitive interace, could be on top of Xlib
(was in progress, now abandoned)
Long-term goals:
Widget library
Perl window manager:
See PerlWM, http://www.miranda.org/~jkominek/perlwm/
