If you're using Xlib, just do several XOpenDisplay()'s, one for each server.
You can provide a user interface to this on the command line, so the user can
select displays.  Due to bugs in X11R3, this is more difficult in Xt.  I know
of no public domain programs that use multiple displays right now, possibly
because of the second restriction.
