I don't know yet. But I don't think it matters. I will make the CMakeLists to 
create two libraries - one client and one server. So the server interfaces 
won't matter except when explicitly requested.

I do not want a dependency on QtWayland. We might consider this in the future 
but at the moment QtWayland is unreleased software. I'm also not really
