openhmd: init at 0.3.0-rc1-20181218

What? Why?

New package: a KISS library for doing VR stuff. I felt like writing an expression for it simply because it is the only one that does something VR and adheres to the KISS principle (i.e. I don't even have an HMD, made an expression purely for religious reasons :]).

ping @7c6f434c @Ericson2314 (I want a "ping a random person with commit access" button)

Thanks!

Re: button: To be honest, simple package additions do usually get into some broad-swiping «let's review simple stuff» pass that some committers (not me) do nowadays.

(You can always use me as a random person with commit access — it is always something technically sound, and either something I merge soon, something I merge if noone cares to object, or something where I do want to follow the comments because it's a high-quality controversy and knowing the current layout of opinions on tradeoffs might be useful information even if I can predict the net outcome)

[oxij]

I see, noted, thanks.

a high-quality controversy
