expanding the Linux System definition with OIN

["Karen Sandler" <karen gnome org>]

I received this request from Keith Bergelt of OIN - they're expanding
the Linux System definition for OIN, which would be very useful to have
apply to as many packages that are helpful to GNOME as possible (as they
would get patent protection from all of OIN's members).

I asked him for guidance so that we weren't nominating packages that
were too far afield and he said: these should be pretty conservative and
either kernel related and threaded thereto

The packages currently included, with their version numbers, are here:

and here:

Do any of you have any suggestions? I'd ordinarily love to coordinate with
KDE and others, but with such a tight turn around, we'll have to try that
next time...

thanks so much!
