X11 bindings for Ruby

We need a good set of bindings to interface with X in Ruby, seriously.

This is still in an early stage, so don't expect to do much.

>> X11::Display.new.width
1280

It uses ffi to use Xlib and stuff, long live FFI!

Notes

Keep in mind that when a Display object gets garbage collected the connection to the X server is closed and the data is free'd, so anything related to that display won't work anymore and could cause crashes.
