It is a bit of a shame that XCALIBRATE has been removed upstream, but
it's fairly self-contained and it wouldn't be all that hard for
oe[-core] to patch it back in again.

Yes, or that might be a better answer in the long term.  I do have a
certain fondness for XCALIBRATE but it was never an especially elegant
solution to the problem.  If XI2 can do the same thing more neatly then
updating xtscal to use it is probably the right thing.  Patches welcome
I guess :-}
