Fair enough I can drop the --version, didn't expect that would be
controversial.  I have local and system installations of weston, so
having tools report which weston they came from seemed useful, but not a
big deal, there's plenty of other ways to determine that.

I do think that an editor actually loading a file to edit is
extraordinarily basic functionality; little risk there of making
weston-editor 'real'.  This small feature would have been moderately
handy while working on the compose editing support, although I was more
focused on input than display.  I figure future developers working on
text support might find use of being able to load up a file with test
UTF-8 text.

Remaining review comments incorporated, thanks.
