Eventually. Eventually... ;-)

To be honest, this is not my highest priority for 2016.11; I have multi
br2-external and systemd skeleton to handle first.

This quick egl-wayland series (which I did not expect would be applied
so fast!) was just a little distraction along the way. ;-) But at least,
it paves the way toward more egl-wayland providers and users.

As for Weston and the DRM compositor, I guess Gustavo did with what we
had at the time... And I'm not totally up-to-speed with all the
complexity of the graphics stack...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
