  Description     : shifts between NVIDIA Graphic Card and Intel without rebooting

NVIDIA switch is a tool that automates the shifts between a NVIDIA Graphics
Card and an Intel without needing to reboot the computer or changing TTY. This
script let all the X configurations to be done by a Display Manager, which
improves security a bit and let the things more intuitive. Also, it has power
management features similar to nvidia-xrun (also available at GitHub).

NOTE: to package it, is needed to have an IGP Intel and an extra GPU Nvidia to
      make tests and debugs.
