Eventually the nested compositor example will want to be able to cope with either rendering as it does now with a blit to an intermediate surface or by attaching the client buffers directly to a subsurface without copying. This patch moves the code that is specific to the blitting mechanism into a separate set of functions with a vtable to make it easier to add the second way of rendering in a later patch.
Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding weston and its dependencies.
