Zig Wayland Client

A zig native wayland client library. This library is not designed to identically replicate the functionality of the lib-wayland-client library from the mainline wayland project. This is instead a new take on interfacing with wayland by focusing on the primitives of the wayland protocol.

For in depth usage information see window_app in the examples/ directory. The core wayland protocol isn't particularly useful on its own so the window_app example uses the XDG Shell and XDG Decoration protocol extensions to create a proper desktop style window. For the example to work your compositor will have to support at least XDG Shell. If your compositor doesn't support XDG Decoration the content will still show, but the window won't have decorations (this is the case with GNOME/Mutter).
