[Bf-committers] Wayland to soon release stable 1.0

[Campbell Barton]

initial ghost/wayland port is likely a weekend project, once thats
working patches for --- copy/paste, fullscreen, mode switching,
tablets, mouse warping ... etc, can be added along the way.

If wayland gains popularity I'd guess proprietary drivers would move
to support it eventually.

No rush IMHO since we can likely use ghost/SDL, but also shouldn't be
a big deal to get it working.
