FYI, this release allows to test weston (the reference wayland
compositor) oustide of X11 by running "weston-launch".
This will spawn the compositor in a new tty.

Beware that this one is still experimental, and might crash your X11
session.

You can also try it inside of a X11 session, which seems to be safer, by
running "weston".

For now, the package is not much useful, only a sample "weston-terminal"
application is provided, but I plan to enable more demo wayland clients
in our weston package.

I am also looking at enabling the wayland backend in gtk+3, which would
enable far more applications to run in wayland (provided that they don't
use gdk-x11).

Enjoy
