Thank to pq for the feedback, here is the second version of weston.ini man page
I am not sure how to change configure sed scripts to autofill values. Another
unclear thing is whether the [shell] type=desktop-shell.so options actually works,
since the shell plugin seems to be hardcoded in src/compositor.c:3059 main().
Thanks.
