[oe] [meta-gnome][PATCH] libnotify: add 0.5.2 and make it the default

[Connor Abbott]

Well, in this case they don't, everything just intalls to
/usr/include/notify. The reason is that usually, programs using libnotify
hardcode that directory like this:
#include <notify/notify.h>

So it's impossible to install multiple versions at once without breakage at
least without changing the library itself or all its dependencies, as I
discovered.
