It all builds and installs correctly for me (I'm using core-image-sato
for testing). It would probably be good to put together a simple test
plan to ensure that it does run correctly.

I must admit to being happier working on console applications rather
GUIs and especially OpenGL/EGL type things but there are probably a
few basic tests I can do. I could see if glxgears runs correctly. I
could also look at EGL/GLES output from gstreamer.

Any other suggestions?
