  README: Add basic build directions
  
  In particular, highlight the use of configure flags to control locating
  X11 keyboard stuff when building for Wayland.
  
  Of particular note, if the locale root is not specified, then xkbcommon
  will look for them under $prefix (i.e. /usr/local/share/X11/locale).
  But unless the user has specifically installed them there, it is better
  to look in the standard system location, /usr/share/X11/locale.
  
  Otherwise, xkbcommon will error when it can't find them, e.g.:
  
    xkbcommon: ERROR: ~/.XCompose:4:9: failed to expand %L to the locale Compose file
    xkbcommon: ERROR: ~/.XCompose:4:12: unterminated string literal

• # libxkbcommon
  
  libxkbcommon is a keyboard keymap compiler and support library which
  processes a reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the XKB (X Keyboard
  Extension) specification.  It also contains a module for handling Compose
  and dead keys.
  
  ## Quick Guide
  
  See [Quick Guide](doc/quick-guide.md).
  
  ## Building
  
  libxkbcommon is built the typical autoconf way:
  
      ./autogen.sh
      make
  
  To build for use with Wayland, you can disable X11 support while still
  using the X11 keyboard configuration resource files thusly:
  
      ./autogen.sh --disable-x11 \
          --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
          --with-x-locale-root=/usr/share/X11/locale
      make
  
  ## API
  
  While libxkbcommon's API is somewhat derived from the classic XKB API as found
  in X11/extensions/XKB.h and friends, it has been substantially reworked to
  expose fewer internal details to clients.
  
  See the [API Documentation](http://xkbcommon.org/doc/current/modules.html).
  
  ## Dataset
  
  libxkbcommon does not distribute a keymap dataset itself, other than for
  testing purposes.  The most common dataset is xkeyboard-config, which is used
  by all current distributions for their X11 XKB data.  More information on
  xkeyboard-config is available here:
      http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig
  
  The dataset for Compose is distributed in libX11, as part of the X locale
  data.
  
  ## Relation to X11
  
  See [Compatibility](doc/compat.md) notes.
  
  ## Development
  
  An extremely rudimentary homepage can be found at
      http://xkbcommon.org
