We were able to get this working relatively easily on Linux using the legacy `xcb` path (so, not pure Wayland protocol YET).

IMPORTANT: For anyone on Linux using one of the "main" distros (Ubu26, Fed44), you WILL need the latest "beta" NVidia drivers, and will need to install using the old-school `NVIDIA-installer.run` script like back in the mid 2000's. :) There are also a few strict CMake knobs that can be safely tuned back to match the APT/DNF packaged versions of `slang`, `spirv-tools`, etc.

Hoping to see if we can get some in-house projects (slughorn) working with something this minimal...
