x/libglvnd-1.1.1-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
This is the GL Vendor-Neutral Dispatch library, which allows multiple
drivers from different vendors to coexist on the same machine. When
libglvnd is present, the NVIDIA driver will not overwrite any system
files. Note that this is known to work when installing the NVIDIA driver
using the .run installer. Other methods may require adjustment.
This library is now a dependency of Mesa.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
