Hello,

We actually build weston without X support in baserock [1], and have already
split a lot of the things off into various "common" strata (i.e they are common
to both X and Wayland) have a look at:

http://git.baserock.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/baserock/baserock/definitions.git/tree/strata/weston-common.morph

Which defines what weston needs. It may not be the *absolute* minimum you need,
but it's a good start. I'll put tiny urls for the various build-depends (i.e
what is needed to build it)

graphics-common - http://tinyurl.com/q8m5r86
input-common (libinput) - http://tinyurl.com/o3fere5
    input-common requires these xorg macros - http://tinyurl.com/o2whkjk
libdrm-common - http://tinyurl.com/lwrpn5y
    not needed if you don't want the drm backend
mesa-common (actually just mesa) - http://tinyurl.com/lsxkkqj
    mesa-common needs llvm - http://tinyurl.com/mftde36
    however you don't need this if you're not interested in llvmpipe
    and you probably don't need mesa at all if you have some propritary vendor
    drivers
wayland-generic - http://tinyurl.com/kcd8rj3
    Which depends on some more xorg macros - http://tinyurl.com/o2whkjk

That's it, you can probably ignore things in foundation and core, since they
contain things essential to the system (that you might already have, e.g
systemd, make, git..) hope it was helpful!

Thanks
James
