Note that this is turned off by default and must be enabled at build time with the CMake WITH_CYCLES_EMBREE flag.
Embree must be built as a static library with ray masking turned on, the `make deps` scripts have been updated accordingly.
There, Embree is off by default too and must be enabled with the WITH_EMBREE flag.
Using Embree allows for much faster rendering of deformation motion blur while reducing the memory footprint.
TODO: GPU implementation, deduplication of data, leveraging more of Embrees features (e.g. tessellation cache).

-Newer cmake was unhappy with openal's cmakelists.txt
-collada has warning as error on and errored out on new msvc2017 warnings.
FFMPEG & VPX don't handle target with --build parameter, so we need to make sure use of plain configure command

support users making their own builds with these. For that precompiled
libraries from lib/ should be used.
