[needs-packaging] ppower for CM11A X10 device

[Karl Ostmo]

As detailed in Bug 300130, the support for X10 in Ubuntu is poor. The "heyu" program has license issues precluding its packaging. "ppower", on the other hand, is GPL'd. I have tested it on my CM11A modules. It works.

Other programs advertising the capability to control the CM11A include "x10bot" and ""x10dev" (aka Project WiSH), but I haven't tried them.
