[ITP] mfx_dispatch (1.35.1)

[Takashi Yano]

I would like to propose new package mfx_dispatch, which is
dev package for codecs using Intel GPUs. This is needed by
ffmpeg package I had proposed, and is an alternative to libmfx
package provided for ffmpeg-free package in fedora.

I already prepared the package at the following location.

Do you mean "fedora uses libmfx, but I've decided to use this instead"? 
If so, why? Or perhaps I've misunderstood.

Again, libmfx should be libmfx1.

You might check that for all of these packages :)

Yes.

First, I tried to build intel-mediasdk (libmfx) used in fedora,
however, it requires libdrm, libpciaccess, etc. which could not
be built in cygwin as far as I tried.

So, I gave up building intel-mediasdk and decide to use
mfx_dispatch instead. Please note that most the code in
mfx_dispatch is borrowed from intel-mediasdk, therefore,
I think it can be treated as same as intel-mediasdk.

Thanks for the advice. I revised the cygport file
as attached. Is this as you expected?
