I don't think swrast mesa is the right way to go for a un-accelerated
Wayland server.  It is possible to do this with the shm buffer sharing
and swrast, but a better approach is to not use GL at all if there's
no acceleration available.  A cairo (or just pixman directly) based
compositor could probably provide a pretty decent performance.

There are still missing pieces, it's not just a matter of configure
mesa and wayland, sorry.
