This is why this v2 is just the GSource included directly in 
libwayland-client (I forgot to change the commit message).

The idea is inspired by PulseAudio, which has a few main loop helpers 
shipped with libpulse (GLib integration, simple and threaded loops).

I would understand if you do not want to include this code in 
libwayland-client though, but I am willing to maintain it if you decide 
to do so.

Thanks,
