Plasma port to Wayland

[Sebastian Kügler]

Hi Pier Luigi,

Thanks for the updates, such a high-level overview is much appreciated. Some 
question inline below.

It would probably make sense to rebase on master, so the delta becomes a bit 
smaller. I think it's time to start shipping cookies to Martin Graesslin to 
keep him happy during extended reviews. :D

Otherwise, we're waiting for the ECM to be merged? The RR has a shipit, so I 
guess that can go in, and we can proceed with merging other patches in. Do you 
need any help with that?

Cheers,
