Comment # 4 on bug 1168447 from Hans-Peter Jansen

I would love to provide OptiX, but unlike CUDA, OptiX requires a working CUDA
environment during build time, which in turn requires a working nvidia driver. 

The only solution to the problem is a deferred compilation of Cycles.

Any ideas anybody?
