hi Folks,

This is the first public "new packages" announcement by me. 
I'm not sure how things will be handled long-term... but we've been very busy 
at blastwave lately :-) So I'm going to just summarize all the packages that
have been changed in the last 30 days.
As you can see... that covers quite a lot!
In the future, I may do a weekly list.

Of special note are the "evolution" and "kde" packages.
 koffice should also be coming soon!
