e-wm_svn.bb.patch

I have only tested this with shr-image (overlay of openembedded), but expect
the issue to be present on all images that is based on e17.

Currently e-wm, puts all its dependency using _append_linux.* syntax, which
works okey for ipk file generation, but not for second degree dependency
(something else depends on e-wm).

So, shr-image.bb depends on e-wm, but image generation fails to install e-wm,
since all the RDEPENCY's it requires, hasn't been built.

My sugguestion is to put all the general RDEPENCY back into RDEPENCY, and just
let the platform specific depencies using the append_linux syntax, see patch:
