Description U. Artie Eoff 2013-10-25 17:58:15 UTC 
Weston willingly configures and compiles with older libxkbcommon libs (e.g. 0.2.0).  However, when executing Weston, the weston-desktop-shell and weston-keyboard child processes crash because libxkbcommon is too old.

The weston configure.ac currently doesn't restrict the xkbcommon version.  But it probably should be more strict by checking for libxkbcommon >= 0.3.0.

Thanks for the trivial fix.  Don't forget to `git push` the 1.3 branch ;)
