Installing the file sounds like a good idea. For now I've added the customary 
license header from Wayland to wayland.xml.

The only real dependencies are currently the STL and a modern Linux system (no 
older than a few years, for epoll).

There are some nasty things there like a (for now) useless skeleton subdir and 
unneeded dependencies. The buildsystem is also not set up to install anything. 
Currently the intended way to "use" it is hack, compile and run the tests.
It's only protocol code, nothing dealing with actual input or graphics.
