Note that this is turned off by default and must be enabled at build time with the CMake WITH_CYCLES_EMBREE flag.
Embree must be built as a static library with ray masking turned on, the `make deps` scripts have been updated accordingly.
There, Embree is off by default too and must be enabled with the WITH_EMBREE flag.
Using Embree allows for much faster rendering of deformation motion blur while reducing the memory footprint.
TODO: GPU implementation, deduplication of data, leveraging more of Embrees features (e.g. tessellation cache).

ffi stubbornly wants to put libs in lib64 even when you tell it not to on some linux distributions.
patch based on sed fix the gentoo guys did [1]
[1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/462814
Mainly this is following Linux to build own xml2/lzma/ssl/sqlite and linking
them all statically. This ensures the Python ssl module uses a recent openssl
version rather than a very old one shipped with macOS.
There is system-wide libz development package installed by default,
needed for some other dependencies. This patch ensures Python will
use our own self-compiled Zlib.
This involved getting SSL compiled from sources first, ensuring
it is a static library placement independent code. Configuration
is based on what Debian is using. CFlags required to have own
configuration file, which i didn't find a better place that next
to the corresponding CMake file.
It is OpenSSL btw.
It is set to Python via --with-openssl= configuration argument.
This works fine in a clean chroot, but having libssl-dev installed
might make Python to prefer system wide library, This was worked
around by using libssl_pic.a name for the library and modifying
setup.py. Would be cool to ensure system wide libraries are not
a problem, but official release builder is safe against this,
since it will catch possible non-static dependencies.
There is also a new map file which shadows bunch of Python
symbols. Without this Python's shared libraries might bring
conflicting symbols to Blender namespace at runtime.
Hopefully this doesn't break other platforms.
there is an issue with objects destructing in a non deterministic way during process shutdown, temporary work around this until osl has a fix in place.
blosc embedded a copy of zlib/pthreads causing duplicate symbol linker errors. pthreads was windows specific, but zlib may apply to other platforms as well.
