libkscreen without wayland backend and doctor.

[Tobias C. Berner]

Hi


plasma5 requires graphics/wayland [1] from [2] for the screenlocker
component for example -- even for X11 based sessions [3]. (So by the same
argument we could/should/have request[ed] graphics/wayland to be added to
the ports tree :P -- wayland may be months out, but that port has been used
for nearly two years now in the plasma5 branch).



I'll create a diff for a patched plasma5-libkscreen for the ports tree.
