I just pushed the changes. There are a few changes to the original outline:
* libdrm and gbm are kept optional given that the drm backend depends on udev 
which is to my knowledge not available on non-Linux. Linux distros: please 
make sure you build with drm and gbm! Otherwise Wayland support is broken!
* X11_XCB is now a requirement for building the X11 backend. It's still 
optional but without it you won't get the X11 backend. Previous you got the 
backend, but had broken EGL support.

Cheers
