Xl - A C++ Library for X11

I wrote a lightweight C++ library to replace C/Xlib about 10 years ago. At the time there was a good reason to do this -- other than I was getting paid to do it -- but for the life of me I can't recall what it was.

I'm releasing a copy of the library here, feel free to use it in any way you want. There is still some X Consortium code (or X.org) in the library but I don't think that should be a licensing problem. The download is zipped VS2005 solution.

I've kept the library up to date with every new relase of Visual Studio (or Visual C++ in the old days). This version for Visual Studio 2005 compiles, but I haven't done any testing with this library for years, so use it at your own risk.

I don't have the original documentation for this library, we were required to use a separate application that (of course) has since disappeared and the documentation was stored in that application's database.
