Updated sK1 gnome patch

It seems that the latest revision of sK1 has a new configurator.py that breaks my old gnome patch. I've updated the patch to work with the latest revision. Hopefully this won't end up being an arms race type of affair where configurator.py is constantly changing. Just rename to gnome-sK1.patch and copy in place of the old patch and remember to edit the fonts and font sizes in the patch if you want to match your gnome theme better.

Updated sK1 ebuild with gnome USE flag

I've updated my sK1 svn ebuild to include a gnome USE flag. The normal build defaults to Crystal icons. The USE flag patches the configurator.py file to use Tango icons and also changes the fonts. You can edit the patch to use different fonts if you like.

sK1 svn ebuild

For ten years now UNIX has had a fantastic vector editor called Skencil (formerly Sketch). The bad news is that it hasn't been updated in over 2 years. That's where sK1 comes in. It has a new updated interface along with a cairo backend and CMYK support for use in pre-press. I've been checking out svn versions and the project looks very promising although quite incomplete at the moment. Anyway, I got tired of fetching things manually and adapted an sK1 ebuild I found on the net to fetch the latest svn version. Here it is:
