I think this is a really good point.  If we're going to be supporting
libweston's API as a stable interface, then it deserves going over the
interface (and overall scope) with a fine toothed comb before other
projects start using it.

Also, changing the library name will be harder once the effort becomes
public, so would be worth considering if "libweston" is the best name.
