We'd either have to port it to not using toy toolkit (I suppose a complete white frame is enough for a "wev" tool), or just rewrite it from scratch. I suspect rewriting it might actually be less work. Either way, no need to wait for such a thing to happen before creating a "wayland-tools" repository.
