Description of changes

I took the opportunity to update this package a few more commits:

https://github.com/Thann/play-with-mpv/commits/master

But the main motivation is that some changes I am making to Python bootstrapping are revealing missing dependencies that were being silently ignored before. (I think pip was being used to attempt to download them, and then the build continued afterward when that download fails.)

Here, the main change is that the custom build of install-freedesktop needs to be an actual Python package in order for setuptools to recognize that it's a fulfilled dependency.

We can also get rid of the git dependency if we replace the version in setup.py with a valid version string.
