pSX Source RPM

This is the best multi-platform emulator for the Sony Playstation.  

It is not allowed in mainstream Fedora because it's: 

    a) A games console emulator;
    b) Proprietary/Freeware Software;
    c) A piece of software which is hard to use legally
       due to the need for a BIOS dump from the actual console.

It is the most accurate emulator available and despite being non-free, still
provides a better option for many users than the free alternatives currently
available (e.g. PCSX-df).

It is the only emulator I have used which passes the "Castlevania Picture Test"
and works properly with all of the available BIOS dumps (including Japanese dev
console BIOSes).

Known bug:

    Does not work with ALSA's PulseAudio Plugin, it crashes the program
    and this cannot be fixed within the program itself due to lack of
    source code access.  (Perhaps a wrapper could be made for this?)


Benefit to RPMFusion:

    Users will have access to an easy-to-use Sony Playstation emulator which 
    doesn't appear to be packaged anywhere else!

    Additionally, the binaries work on both Fedora and RHEL (with EPEL).


P.S.  This is my first [potential] contribution, I'm hoping those more
experienced than I will give helpful feedback (or assistance) for making this
usable.  I want to see Fedora compete with other distributions for package
availability.
