Investigate / add support for OpenSubdiv #57

Description

Last time I looked, this had some technical issues on Debian (some of which are apparently resolved):

It also has licensing issues:

PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv#126

Basically, it's licensed under the "MSPL", which is a gratuitously-GPL-incompatible license. It appears this was done inadvertently, not maliciously (but changing the license on an existing project is typically pretty difficult). The effects are unclear; some research shows that some people think the MSPL is GPLv2 incompatible, but GPLv3 compatible; the Blender people apparently consider OpenSubdiv unusable because of this.
