Jose, that's a genius idea: let Piglit use stdin for input. If stdin
is really capable of capturing all of Piglit's input needs, I think that's
the easiest path to take.

I have been reluctant to add any input API to Waffle because, honestly,
it would be a half-baked solution hastily designed to accommodate Piglit.
If Waffle's design goals are kept focused, then it is more likely to
accomplish its goals well.
