  Description     : P.E.Op.S. software graphics plugin for PSX emulators

 This plugin provides software video rendering support for PSX emulators.
 There are also a number of per-game graphical fixes, as well as a set of
 filters for improving the output quality of the emulator graphics.

The version I am packaging has been modified to be operate independent of the 
working directory, and to read/write its config file to a standard location 
in a dotdir. The plugin is for PCSX; see bug  #137355 for more on that. There 
are a number of other psemu plugins.

NOTE: This package is rather troubled, as it is. It will not build with GCC4 
due to an lvalue error (which can be fixed), and there are problems in one of 
the files it includes from X (Xmd.h, I believe) that also cause GCC4 errors. 
It also has a lintian override due to the i386 ASM in the library creating 
non-PIC code. Unfortunately, this is the only DFSG-free video driver 
available for PSX emulators. I may check with Pete Bernert, the author of 
most of the free-as-in-beer PSX video drivers, if he is interested in finally 
releasing the source of them, but he hasn't expressed a desire to do so in 
the past.

Please ignore invalid ITP numbers in the changelogs for now, if any are 
reported. I'll upload fixed versions shortly after I get all of the ITPs 
filed.
