I'm sure polishing can come later, but ​I dunno how bundled ​weston-eventdemo
is with weston code though, i.e. how hard it would be to make that a
standalone tool. Seems for the most part, weston code is used for the
parsing of options.

I'd prefer they weren't split into one repo per tool. I think, and
