I have decided use Weston, which is a stacking compositor, for my
initial foray into Wayland.
What do I need? Just ask Gentoo:

Holy godzilla mutherfuckers! Wayland itself is only 225 KiB!
But Weston is almost 2 MiB.
I need to rebuild mesa to include gles2 and wayland.
But that should be it.
Before I begin, however, I need to read up on the technical details so
that I have it all nailed down. The problem is that there is little
useful material to be found and that's because most who use Wayland are
these ignoramus GNOME/KDE jockeys with their do-it-all-for-you distros.
No one knows shit about GNU/Linux anymore.
I'll get there. I am in no fucking hurry. It may be several months
yet. My system is highly customized and I have to work around all this
fucking distro shit.
Why aren't you using Linux From Scratch?
Too simple! Every time a need for an application arises, Farley Flud
just codes his own. Once he's used it, he deletes it and codes another
when the need arises. He's a REAL man, you see.
