From: Tiago Vignatti <tiago.vignatti at intel.com>
It was added a "Server API" section and "Types of Compositor" was moved there
also. I hope this gives a better structure for the documentation.

+ The open-source reference implementation of Wayland protocol is split in two
+ C libraries, <emphasis>libwayland-server</emphasis> and

+ This Chapter describes in detail each library's methods and their helpers,

+ respectively at <xref linkend="sect-Library-Client"/> and
+ <xref linkend="sect-Library-Server"/>. The last
+ <xref linkend="sect-Compositors"/>, gives an example how
+ <emphasis>libwayland-server</emphasis> can be used for building different
+ types of compositors.
