Bug#820644: RFS: libretro-snes9x [ITP]

HI,

libretro/* is under public-domain actually.
I purged win32, jma and filter/xbrz stuff. Let me know if there's more stuff to purge from the package. 

The package is updated.

Hey dear mentors!

I'm looking for a sponsor for my package "libretro-snes9x"

This is the libretro port of Snes9x.

Snes9x is a cross platform SNES emulator, fast and it has a good
compatibility with commercial games.

The code diverge from Snes9x upstream, so let's use the libretro
fork.

This seems to be unredistributable.

These files require a GPL license exception to link with the non-free
code:

I'm not convinced the license exception granted by these pieces of code
applies here (it's not MAME and technically this is an Snes9x
derivative):
