Untested demonstration patch:

The tradeoff with this approach is that it's annoying to have to create
a separate structure to hold the native cleanup data.  

But scanning quickly through 'git grep _finalize', there's really not
that many finalizers which call libX11 functions.  It should be quite
doable to proxy them.

Clutter may be a different story, looking at it now.
