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.

Are you interested in maintaining this?

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)
