Yes, got it working in the end.  Found a few patches lying around the
web to fix various things, so it compiles cleanly now.  You can use
mercurial to do a hg clone of my repository from

  http://www.adamspiers.org/cgi-bin/hg.cgi/xmacro/

There appears to be a complete lack of sanity checking of the input
you feed it, so for example

  echo "KeyStr Escape" | ./xmacroplay :0

works great, but

  echo "KeySym Escape" | ./xmacroplay :0

will blow up in your face.

Attached is an example script which I have bound to Win-a in openbox.
