libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which 
replaces the current Xlib interface. 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.

This release enables xcb-dri2.  Not because DRI2 is supported on Cygwin 
(it's not), but having the library avoids the need for an unwieldy (and 
ever-changing) patch to Mesa's libEGL to build without it.
