[oe] beagleboard-demo-image, and the evil that is "gnome-games"

[Robert P. J. Day]

  given that (on my fedora 12 system, anyway), the gnome-games package
has been unbuildable for weeks now, i finally threw in the towel,
removed the reference to it from the beagleboard task, and can now
build beagleboard-demo-image.

  that package was the final obstacle to getting a BB-demo-image
build.  other packages that were failing -- e2fsprogs, mplayer --
have recently been fixed, leaving gnome-games as the sole remaining
cause of build grief.

  a suggestion -- until the issue with gnome-games is resolved, why
not just remove its inclusion from the bb-demo-image task?  i'm being
quite serious -- it's obviously not a critical package, and if it's
the only thing keeping people from building and testing the OE dev
branch for the beagleboard, take it out so folks can get back to
testing.

  it seems counter-productive to allow a single games package to put
the brakes on an entire build.
