patch demonstrating change

Hello all,

I've been working on an application which uses CUDA in a headless server environment.  The cuda library, along with cuvid, nvenc, opencl, and nvidia-ml are installed via x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers, but require the X use flag to be set for them to be installed.  These libraries do not require X to be present on the system.

I've attached a patch which moves these out of the "if use X" statement of src_install-libs().  I also removed a redundant installation of cuvid and nvenc in src_install() (they are installed by src_install-libs() later on).  I also removed libnvidia-fbc from src_install() for the same reason, but also because it depends on X and was not guarded as such.

- Nathan
