Igelle v0.4.1: armv4t and NEO1973 support

Igelle is a Linux-based operating system distribution that is designed to run on various different devices, including desktop/laptop computers, cellular phones, mobile internet devices and other small or large computers.

Igelle v0.4.1 is a minor version release over v0.4.0 (due to only small differences in the code), however the release is a major one in that the first images for an ARM device are released here. New in this release is initial support for the FIC NEO1973 OpenMoko phone, together with a fully compilable array of packages for the armv4t architecture used by the device. No notable differences for other platforms in this release.

(Note that the NEO images in this release are still incomplete in features, and not really usable for any real task, however they do work well and look beautiful.)

As usual, proceed to the Igelle project site for downloads and installation instructions.
