Arrgggh Wayland is not compiling again (xcb-composite)

[Bill Spitzak]

Thanks I got it to work.

Two mistakes I made:

1. I clicked on the wrong package and installed the i386 one rather than 
the x86_64 one.

2. When autogen.sh is run it copies the current value of 
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH to configure.in. Thus my changes to this variable were 
being ignored each time I tried to run configure, yet annoyingly when I 
tried to duplicate the commands it was doing it worked.
