E on FreeBSD: FreeBSD E Wayland LoginD

Hello world :-)

I have managed to finally build the EFL and E with Wayland + DRM
support [1]. However it has problem to start as it turns out Wayland
implementation of all compositors is probably based on (ekhm) SystemD
and at least needs LoginD as most of the Compositors do.

Is there any chance that LoginD could run on FreeBSD? Do we have
anything better instead?

According to E main developer @raster such LoginD can run in userland
but also handles VT switching, input, and fd() arbitration (for device
access).

Best regards :-)
