Samuel Thibault 6e2e87d0bb Local socket connections do not work on hurd-i386 
Local socket connections currently do not work on hurd-i386 because
xcb_auth calls getpeername() on the client socket, but hurd-i386 does
not implement anything in that case (I actually wonder what reasonable
value could be returned).  In such case the xcb code does not actually
need the peer name anyway.

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

libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- 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,
at:

	<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=XCB>

Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:

        <mailto:xcb at lists.freedesktop.org>

You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT.
