That would be a solution to the dependency problem in KWindowSystem and is 
part of the "need to discuss with frameworks".

Still I want to have KWayland::Client being ABI stable as it has it's 
advantages for the modules in kde-workspace, too. The actual Wayland 
protocol is stable and we can provide an ABI stable wrapper for it, so we 
should do that.
