This is a preliminary change for libweston, with no functional modifications. Separate the backends and the core weston_compositor struct, by creating the weston_compositor in the main(), and having the various backends extend the weston_backend struct, an instance of which is returned by the backend entry point. This enable us to logically separate the compositor core from the backend, allowing the core to be extended without messing with the backends.

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 building weston and its dependencies. The test suite can be invoked via `make check`; see http://wayland.freedesktop.org/testing.html for additional details.
