Karma XO bundle

• similar to E-Paath layout and uses the standard Sugar bundle structure
• It is still undecided whether karma will default to using Browse which is based on Firefox or Surf which based on webkit (Safari/Chrome). Surf requires that you install the rpms for pywebkitgtk and webkitgtk
