[PATCH weston 00/11] Wayland backend improvements

This patch series substantially extends the wayland backend to add a number
of improvements.  Currently, the X backend is the only backend capable of
easily testing various scenarios without having to hotplug/rotate physical
monitors.  As much fun as it is to run X inside of Weston inside of Weston
inside of X inside of Weston, I think we'd all rather be using the Wayland
backend for these sorts of things when running on top of a Wayland
compositor.  As Wayland compositors become common-place and we all start
using one for our day-to-day development, the wayland backend will become
increasingly important for development.

This patch set adds the following to the wayland backend:
 * A proper frame with a close button
 * Pixman/SHM fallback mode (also enabled via the --use-pixman option)
 * Config parsing of [output] sections
 * Output transform support
 * Output scale support

This patch set also introduces a variety of performance improvements and
code cleanups.  

The one substantial thing remaining to bring the wayland backend up to par
with the X backend is to implement fullscreen support.  However, I think we
can go ahead and apply this series and leave fullscreen support for a
seperate series.
