Each time anyone wants to run a CUDA or OpenCL application the Bumblebee power management get's in the way. Right now the only way to turn on he card is using `optirun`.

I want to introduce an option to solve this (i.e. `--no-xorg` as @Lekensteyn suggested) so both the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set (if needed) and the card is switched ON. It will request the card to be ON but neither the secondary X server will be run nor VGL.

A use case could be `$ optirun --no-xorg ` or any program that needs the card but don't need to render into an Xorg server.
