The current config parser, parses the ini file and pulls out the values specified by the struct config_section passed to parse_config_file() and then throw the rest away. This means that every place we want to get info out of the ini file, we have to parse the whole thing again. It's not a big overhead, but it's also not a convenient API. This patch adds a parser that parses the ini file to a data structure and puts that in weston_compositor->config along with API to query comfig keys from the data structure. The old parser is still available, but we'll transition to the new approach over the next few commits.
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.
