  Description     : The NVIDIA PhysX SDK is a scalable multi-platform physics
solution for CPUs and GPUs

PhysX is a physics simulation library by Nvidia.
I would have expected it to be already in debian's repositories
but i recently tried to compile a code using it and it isn't available
hence i thought of doing it myself (and get myself involved in debian).
I am planning of maintaining but i will need some help in learning the
debian procedures.
The domain of the package could interest the Edu or graphics teams.
