I ended up releasing 1.0.2 so that mesa can depend on this new entry
point.  Ian said that he might do the 9.0.2 release next week, so I
decided to make a release.  We had a few important fixes in the 1.0
branch and we can always make another 1.0.x release if something comes
up.  As for using mesa with wayland master, I think we'll just bump
the git version to 1.1.0.  That way an install of git master will
still satisfy the mesa configure check.  We'll have to call the next
major release 1.2 instead of 1.1, but other than that this seem like
the simplest solution.
