Running EFL applications under Wayland based on Ubuntu 14.04 : egl wayland example

For correct functionality when running under Wayland you must use the latest versions of all the EFL components under Wayland. As a precursor to these steps you must have downloaded and compiled Wayland as per the building instructions.
