Hi
Rather than linking by name, would it not be easier to link by pointer
to struct wet_output?
That means when you encounter a directive like "left-of=F5" and there
is no output F5 yet, you would create a new struct wet_output for F5
but leave the weston_output pointer NULL, to be filled out if F5
actually appears.
That means you would always have a graph in memory instead of doing
searches to find if output of this name actually exists. I'm not sure
if that's actually simpler in the end.
Having the complete graph would allow you to "jump over" outputs that
do not exist at the moment: e.g. order F1 -> (F2) -> F3.

Yes, this looks like an intuitive approach, storing the relationship in
inverse compared to how users write it out in weston.ini.
