libaxl is a currently under develop X library, and is not
in a usable state (please help write man pages if you want
it ready sooner).

The goals of libaxl are:

*   Use asynchronous communication model (unlike libX11)

*   Use as few memory allocations as possible (unlike XCB)

*   Always use proper namespacing (unlike libX11)

*   Do not use aggregate returns (unlike XCB)

*   Abstract away as little as reasonably possible (unlike XCB and libX11)

*   But do not require the user to know about the order of bits in bitmasks (unlike XCB)

*   Be as tiny as possible without removing functionality (unlike XCB and libX11)

*   Be thread-safe by default (unlike libX11)

*   Use liberror for error handling (unlike XCB and libX11, obviously)
