Okay, I will add nvidia-texture-tools to the patches. Disregard
the patches for now.
nvidia-texture-tools was bundled with recent versions of
0ad. That was before the new version of nvt was released, so
maybe they will unbundle it now and there's no need for this at
least for 0ad. But as far as I remember some other graphical
application (maybe pixar's USD?) needed this.

I will work on a proof that it works.
