Could you include the reshade-shaders into the tree directly or provide option to build without reshade shaders support? #1035

Dear Author,

Thank You so much for you efforts!

While trying to update Debian gamescope source packages, I noticed that reshade shaders need to be downloaded during the build process. That is unacceptable according to Debian packaging policy. It would be great if You could either include the reshade shaders code into your gamescope tree or provide option to build without reshade shader support.

Please take this into consideration.

Kind regards

Basically, the problem is that git submodules are not included in GitHub release tarballs. There are basically two possible solutions that I see:

generate a dedicated tarball with reshade (might be a bit of a overhead to always upload it)
dump the code directly into the repository (makes updating a bit more annoying)
