Amazing work! A little suggestion for the README! #3

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for providing this great script. After worrying a lot about not being able to use my TrackIR anymore I finally found your solution and found that the face tracking in opentrack worked well enough for my purposes. :)

I only have one small suggestion for the README: people might not be aware that they remove any additional settings in the command line when they replace it with your launcher script. For instance, I used your script with IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 which is a very old game but graphics can be improved a lot on Nvidia cards by enabling additional OpenGL anti-aliasing like this:

__GL_FSAA_MODE=9 %command%

Now using your script according to the README would obviously disable that flag again, but all it takes is to simply add the flags before your script again. So for the README it might be useful to add a little comment that your script would run just the same like this:

__GL_FSAA_MODE=9 /home//.local/bin/opentrack-launcher %command%

or another example would be some of the other flags like

PROTON_LOG=1 /home//.local/bin/opentrack-launcher %command% WINEDLLOVERRIDES="mydll=n,b" /home//.local/bin/opentrack-launcher %command%

etc.

Anyway, the real purpose of this was just to say thanks. Looking forward to see how much you can extend this to other potential programs that may be useful.
