On one hand, getopt (in particular the -o suboption syntax) sucks on the
server side, and on the client side we would like to avoid the glib
dependency. We can roll out own option parser and solve both problems
and save a few lines of code total.
libbacklight is 300 lines of code in one .c file, and we're relying on
udev changes that aren't yet upstream. For now, let's just keep a
copy in weston and if the Xorg DDX drivers start using libbacklight and
it becomes more widely available, we'll make it an external dependency.
This rename addresses a few problems around the split between core
Wayland and the wayland-demos repository.
1) Initially, we had one big repository with protocol code, sample
compositor and sample clients. We split that repository to make it
possible to implement the protocol without pulling in the sample/demo
code. At this point, the compositor is more than just a "demo" and
wayland-demos doesn't send the right message. The sample compositor
is a useful, self-contained project in it's own right, and we want to
move away from the "demos" label.
2) Another problem is that the wayland-demos compositor is often
called "the wayland compsitor", but it's really just one possible
compositor. Existing X11 compositors are expected to add Wayland
support and then gradually phase out/modularize the X11 support, for
example. Conversely, it's hard to talk about the wayland-demos
compositor specifically as opposed to, eg, the wayland protocol or a
wayland compositor in general.
We are also renaming the repo to weston, and the compositor
subdirectory to src/, to emphasize that the main "output" is the
compositor.
Besides the new header file, there's also a change in the main evdev creation
procedure for a more suggestive name (evdev_input_add_devices ->
evdev_input_create). There's no real functional changes in this commit.

Read the same configuration file in the shell plugin (desktop-shell) as
the desktop-shell client does.
Add a new section "screensaver", where "path" defines the path of the
idle animation client to be executed. Not defining "path" disables the
animation.
Idle animations are not in use by default. It must be configured in
wayland-desktop-shell.ini or launched manually.

With this the X server directory can become independent from the
installation prefix set by autoconf.

The shell module is responsible for implementing the higher level
compositor behavior. We default to the desktop-lite shell built in to
the compositor.
