[bug#50054] [PATCH] gnu: Add bgfx

[Leo Prikler]

If possible, we should have one package per repo with everything nasty
in that repo removed.  I realize that's a lot more to ask for than
simply "a package that builds", but we do have some standards.

Optionally, if it's really not possible, you can still go for various
merged origins, but I should stress that in that case you also ought to
filter out the nasty stuff.  It's usually easier to do that if you have
one package for whatever you could reason to be a package upstream.
