[bug#41294] [PATCH] gnu: Add libfreenect.

[Ekaitz Zarraga]

Hi,

Adding libfreenect as discussed here:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40492

I have some doubts with this package:

- It has some extra flags that can be set in the configure step to build some 
python bindings. I didn't set them because they also require a python 
interpreter. How is the best way to handle that? Make another package with the 
flags set? Activate them by default? Leave them as I did?

- The package is 300 megs checking `guix size` that's because it has some 
testing binaries that have extra dependencies. If only the library is compiled 
it doesn't depend on GLUT and that reduces the size a lot. I tried to separate 
the package's outputs but I don't know how to do it correctly (I checked the 
docs but it doesn't go in detail). I'd like to do it but I need some help.

- I'm not sure if the file where I added it is a good choice.

Best,

Ekaitz
