pkgsrc specific changes:
* Remove the deprecated and broken libxml2 and libusb1 options.
* Fix the qt5 option.
* No longer depends on libretro-glsl-shaders, instead use the built-in
updater to install shaders. Fixes shader preset saving as non-root...
* I submitted a sun audio driver to upstream and they accepted it, so
NetBSD and (probably) SunOS will now default to "audioio" instead of "oss".

bsnes/higan is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System / Super Famicom
video game system emulator that aims to document SNES/SFC hardware with
an extremely high degree of accuracy without compromise or optimisation.
bsnes-mercury is a fork of bsnes/higan aiming to restore some useful
features that have been removed, as well as improving performance
slightly. Maximum accuracy is still uncompromisable; anything that
affects accuracy is optional and off by default.
As such, it has quite high system requirements. For a SNES/SFC libretro
core that balances performance and accuracy to an acceptable level for
99% of games, consider using a snes9x core.
Three profiles are available: Performance, Balanced, and Accuracy.
Balanced is recommended for modern PCs. Use Accuracy for extreme cases
of hardware spec abuse (e.g. the game A.S.P. Air Strike Patrol).

ROM scanning data provided by the libretro project.
Generally, this data is for ROMs that have been validated by No-Intro or
Redump DAT files but many other source databases are also in use.
Shaders and filters can be applied to video games to achieve some kind of
visual effect. These can be from attempting to replicate CRT displays, RF
cables, smooth scaling and anti-aliasing, or something more exotic.
This package contains the shaders provided by the libretro project for use
with RetroArch (where .glsl and .glslp shaders are supported out of the box).
They could also in theory be used with other OpenGL programs.
