[oe] Google Summer of Code

[Jacob Thebault-Spieker]

I can see how my idea may not fit openembedded exactly. I guess I just 
decided to try here first, as OE is not only the build-system, but also 
the base for many distros, most of which work closely with OE. If OE is 
not the right place, I will most definitely check with Angstrom, I just 
thought I should check here first. Thanks for the input.
