sakura_2.1.0.bb - bitbake recipe for sakura-2.1.0

Here's the bitbake recipe for sakura terminal emulator. Build tested on both
.dev and .stable branches, run tested on h2200 with Angstrom (.stable version). 

Good points about sakura:
* After setting appropriate font size in ~/.config/sakura/sakura.conf it looks
fine on QVGA screen
* It has tabs
* It has context menu, where you can set opacity, background image, colors and
font (though GTK's color and font choosers are barely usable on QVGA), rename
tabs and window title.

Bad points:
* It's a GTK app and therefore memory hungry. RSS on start is around 8 Megs
(top shows 13% of total memory on my 64 meg h2200) and grows to 13-14 megs(20%)
soon.
* Busybox's "top" strangely doesn't work in it. Didn't investigate why.
* Unicode (in my case cyrillic) input doesn't work too (though I'm not sure if
it's sakura's problem)

P.S.
For building in .stable you'll need to backport cmake.bbclass and recent
cmake-native (2.4.8). cmake-native 2.2.3 that already present in .stable won't
work.
