We package that shim library, that only contains the headers and the
"trace" (non-)implementation.

Basically, it's to avoid having to build against the nvidia-only VPDAU
library.

At runtime, you need to have the proprietary nVidia driver installed, as
it ships the "libvdpau_nvidia.so" library, which is detected and loaded
at runtime.

Carl: anything wrong with that approach? I'm not sure I fully understand
your reply above.
