How about we include all of them that actually work? It doesn't appear
that xomail works for one...

And, how about we include the full set from G1G1 activities? Which
includes a few that have not yet been packaged AFAIK.

I think when the day comes when it's possible for a person to "upgrade"
from OLPC build 767+G1G1 or whatever to F11/12/13... they get at least
the applications they used to have.
