A smithy for rusty wayland compositors

## Goals

Smithay aims to provide building blocks to create wayland compositors in Rust. While not
being a full-blown compositor, it'll provide objects and interfaces implementing common
functionnalities that pretty much any compositor will need, in a generic fashion.

Also:

- **Safety:** Smithay will target to be safe to use, because Rust.
- **Modularity:** Smithay is not a framework, and will not be constraining. If there is a
  part you don't want to use, you should not be forced to use it.
- **High-level:** You should be able to not have to worry about gory low-level stuff (but 
  Smithay won't stop you if you really want to dive into it).
