I also feel like there should be a slimmer solution, but since you will want most of the Wayland protocol support that is already implemented in wlroots, I expect a lot of duplicated code in any case. BTW, I just quickly checked and Xorg[0] actually contains more like 500K lines of code according to wc -l $(find . -type f -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h') Not sure how much of that is actually currently still in use of course.
