[Bf-committers] new dependencies for (spacenav / ndof / 3D mouse) support

[Mike Erwin]

Hm... it's correct to start spacenavd with sudo so it can open a
socket and wait for client connections. That first error message is
from libspnav (linked into blender). I took the easy route and
installed the spacenavd package in Ubuntu, which also took care of
launching it properly. If anyone reading this has daemon-wrangling
experience, please chime in and set us straight!
