Awesome. I never really liked miTranslate anyways; it seemed like
premature optimization to me, although in the 80s when CPU cycles were
slower than memory and compilers sucked at register allocation, it might
have been a win in some cases. I doubt very much that it was ever
measured though; we didn't have x11perf until long after it was
enshrined in the API.
