Two years later, same spot, but updated to the latest upstream, in the
meantime it's been rewritten in rust but the C version is still
available, so let's stick to it for now.

we're soon getting proper XDG_RUNTIME_DIR support, but with
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/home/landry/.local/run/ in ~/.ssh/environment
i've been able to 'waypipe ssh localhost foot' (sorry, only have one
wayland-enabled laptop right now..) and the new wayland client is
properly displayed over ssh.

more testing welcome.
