Thanks, that sounds good.

Unfortunately, this breaks the fallback driver loading because it now searches for /libvdpau_nvidia.so instead of just /libvdpau_nvidia.so.
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.libs vdpauinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend /libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1
(on my system, it hit the fallback path because I built with moduledir set to /usr/local/lib/vdpau but the actual libraries are in /usr/lib/vdpau)
