[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Load CUDA driver API dynamically when needed

[Andrey Turkin]

Enabling CUDA support adds some extremely useful features but it also
adds hard runtime dependency on NVidia driver. This commit removes that
dependency; driver library would be loaded when required.
This allows to use same CUDA-enabled FFMpeg build on machines with and
without NVidia cards.
CUDA toolkit is still needed at build time. scale_npp filter still adds
runtime dependency on libnppc and libnppi (which is fine since these
libraries have to be redistributed with FFMpeg anyway, and they load
CUDA internally on demand as well).
