A VAPI file plus a series of wrapper classes may be the way to go.  I'd
like to have a consistent and solid level of abstraction on top of the
Xlib library or the X protocol one way or another.

There are X11 protocol libraries written in languages like Java, so I
would imagine that trying to find the right way to represent it should
be clear with a little study.  We'll see what happens while I toy with
the idea.  :)
