Bug#989085: ITP: gamescope -- micro-compositor for games



Hi Sam,

yes I know. I haven't come up with a good 3 line description yet.

tl;dr: it's an application that allows to run programs in a nested
environment originating from the SteamOS compositor. The main use is
to run older games in their original resolution on a high dpi screen
via upscaling.
