Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò 11738b2af0 Avoid race condition when using multiple make jobs
Avoid race condition when symlinking XML files.
When declaring a rule with many files as target, the rule is called
when any of them is requested, resulting in multiple for loops happening
during a make process using more than one job.
Also, use '$(LN_S) -f' rather than removing and recreating a file,
that one should be as supported as 'rm -f' and requires one less command.

About libxcb
============

libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, slated to
replace the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small library and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.


Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,

Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:
