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.
