XRoar on Wayland

To the best of my knowledge, a GTK+ 3 build of XRoar will run on Wayland desktops, but it does so by forcing the use of the X11 backend. This is purely because:

Doubtless I could query the backend and use Wayland-specific keyboard queries, but I've not got around to that yet and unfortunately I'm unlikely to because:

If there are XRoar-using Wayland programming experts out there, I'll happily incorporate patches. I think you'd only need to be looking at the GTK+ 3 UI code (src/gtk3/) and be providing equivalents to the X11 low-level keyboard scanning stuff in src/x11/.
