Upcoming Gnome Release

[Auke Kok]

alternatives:

a: have module linc (the base gnome module as I recall) wipe 
/opt/lunar/gnome, a lunar fix will attempt to recompile everything that 
installed "something" in /opt/lunar/gnome anyways, so this might be a 
quickie solution.

b: e-mail the users informing them of this action. Add messages with a 
required user input (acknowledge) to a core gnome module, b0rk if the 
user doesn't ACK, then tell them to RTFM and STFW.

c: somehow lrm all modules that installed something in 
/opt/lunar...first (lrm --keepconfig $(list_modules_in_opt_lunar_gnome))

d: think further
