legacy-support and Wayland

[Chris Jones]

Not really sure what you are asking. legacy-support package is blind to 
what ports might be using it. It just supplies functionality missing on 
older OSes. If some hypothetical future wayland port needs these 
functions, it presumably could use the PG in the same way as everything 
else does.
