Problems with the newest wayland git

[Bill Spitzak]

Can somebody explain why compiling weston with the switch 
"--with-cairo-glesv2" would perhaps fix the weston clients (I am not at 
my machine to try this so I don't know if it does). Doesn't that switch 
*make* it use EGL rather than having cairo write to the image buffer?
