Correct but a waste of time.

We need display drivers from the OS: GLX, EGL, VDPAU (and in the future 
maybe Vulkan).

The display drivers depend on:
- GLX on Xlib,
- EGL on Xlib and/or Wayland-client,
- VDPAU (driver) on Xlib,
- Vulkan on Xlib, XCB and/or Wayland-client,
Xlib depends on Xlib-XCB.
Xlib-XCB depends on XCB.
(And XCB depends on Xau, xproto, etc).
=> So Xlib, XCB and Wayland-client must be provided by the OS.

VDPAU and Vulkan loaders (NOT the drivers) can realistically be shipped 
with VLC, FWIW.
