Using tomboy's keybinding code, using python-keybinder

[Ulrik Sverdrup <ulrik sverdrup gmail com>]

Hello hamster-devs,

I'm the developer of a hobby application called kupfer, and well, I
needed keybindings for my application. Just like hamster, I grabbed
them from the deskbar-applet project, simply stole a whole
subdirectory. This is the libtomboy code that does keybindings, so
successfully that it has been cross-copied to lots of projects by now.

I broke out deskbar-applet's module to python-keybinder[2], a separate
package with separate releases. I've released it, but only with very
minor modifications, the code is at it is.

So I simply wanted to say, that the alternative of not copying
keybinder in is there if you want, it can also be an external
dependency. Thanks to Luca Falavigna it is already packaged for Ubuntu
and Debian. It is tracked in github right now, but I can import it
into git.gnome.org now (kupfer has received a git repo here as well).
