when experimenting with wayland one wants to use xwayland, too. 
currently you have to install xorg-server xwayland branch manually, eg. by adding xorg_server_LIVE_BRANCH=xwayland.

The attached ebuild does this automatically if xwaland use flag is set.
This way you get a correctly running weston setup without fiddling.

with xorg-server-1.15 out the new xwayland branch was rebased to this version. maybe we can do something like this fo rthe xorg-server-1.15.ebuild, too...

Xwayland is in master now and xorg-server-1.5.99.902 with wayland flag has been added to portage.
