We all love wavedrom at my office, and we draw a lot of diagrams with it!

Is there any chance we could get a slight modification to the NW application so that it can be used without a display server?

Runnning ./WavedromEditor source (infile) svg (outfile) works pretty well when we're at our desks, but our build servers can't do it because they don't have an active X11 display. WavedromEditor appears to need a working display so that it can pop up a little momentary window while it works.

This issue can be shown by running DISPLAY="" ./WavedromEditor source (infile) svg (outfile) on a unixlike machine, or by doing ./WavedromEditor source (infile) svg (outfile) over SSH with X11 forwarding turned off.

Older versions of the NW app (such as WaveDrom_20130413.nw) seem to work OK in headless mode, but we'd love to be able to use the latest-greatest!

I am working to make wavedrom headless, but looks like node-webkit requires X11, and I don't know any workarounds by now.

Please use https://github.com/wavedrom/cli for the headless CLI version of WaveDrom.
