[Therion] Therion 5.4.1 on Fedora 25 - Compile fails in loch

Hi Bill,

I've finally managed to find some time to track down the cause of the
mysterious "Error: glxCreateContext failed" message, and have managed to
get loch working on my workstation :)

With the help of google, I eventually found
https://askubuntu.com/questions/745135/how-to-enable-indirect-glx-contexts-iglx-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts-with-nvidia-gfx
and
added

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "IndirectGLX" "on"
EndSection

to the end of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf and restarted,
and loch started to work without any errors.

Cheers,
James
