X11 Extension tutorial

This is an article from the old midgard wiki that hasn't yet been fully updated for this wiki, please update it.
Please see the talk page for discussion.

This tutorial briefly explains what an X11 extension is and how to implement one. Extensibility is a core requirement for a windowing system, and the X extension interface may be used to add new functionality to the X server, thereby fulfilling the extensibility requirement. The X extension interface depends upon functionality in the DDX (driver) itself.
