Maybe you completely missed it, but the X server part of xwayland was
rewritten almost from scratch. It does not use Xorg anymore at all. No
DDXes. I'm not sure if it even tries to read any config files anymore.

Now, the same source code tree that produces the familar 'Xorg'
program and lots of modules, can also produce a program called
'Xwayland'. That single binary is now probably the only thing you need
from the xserver tree for xwayland to work. See the new xwayland build
instructions.

For hardware accelerated GLX clients you might have to wait a bit more,
but I see that glxgears works just fine - it gets llvmpipe. I didn't
try to enable Glamor at all.

With the very little effort I used, I'm in a state, where I can run
'glxgears' inside Weston, and it just works.
