Hi,

we would prefer inline patches, easier to apply and review.

I was going to ponder about how to structure this, like maybe keying
off a command line switch also...

But as I was trying to make distcheck pass, I found a very mysterious
crash, that happens only if both weston-desktop-shell and
weston-keyboard binaries are not found, and you do not run Weston
through gdb or valgrind. I was almost tearing my head off half past
five on a Friday evening, supposed to be doing a release, when I
recalled this patch.

You, sir, saved my day. With this, distcheck actually passes on
Weston. :-)


Thanks,
pq
