Requires elinorbgr/dlib#21 and new dlib release.

Probably using GitHub actions.

Debian 8.10 still uses libxkbcommon 0.4.3. Accessing an XKBCOMMON_HANDLE results in a panic because the symbols concerning compose tables and compose states (from libxkbcommon 0.5) are missing:

It would be nice if this library could handle different versions at runtime. There is a similar issue for x11-rs (AltF02/x11-rs#35). They chose to add different structs for different versions, but it would also be possible to detect the version in a build script and to enable features accordingly.

This dependency is only used for its definition of the xcb_connection_t type. This can easily be defined in this crate and users can perform a pointer cast.
