dev-libs/openvr-1.0.2.ebuild

openvr is valve's attempt to make a standard library for all VR devices. While the name states "open", it is not an open-source library at this time. The library is hosted on github as a .so library with associated headers, but without any sources for the library.

The attached ebuild will install the library on a multilib system along with associated headers and debug symbols.

Added dependencies discovered through an 'ldd' of the installed library (simply glibc and gcc). Also installs to /usr/lib{32,64}/ rather than /usr/lib{32,64}/lib{32,64}/ now (oops)

Cleaned out an unnecessary step (dodir followed by insinto)
