[PATCH] gnu: Add ola

[John J Foerch]

Hello,

Here is a package definition for ola (Open Lighting Architecture).  I
was having trouble getting ola's python bindings to build, as detailed
in an earlier message, so this patch does not include them.  I intend to
add them when I figure out how, but since they're not essential to the
function of the library, I think they need not block adding the basic
package.  Ola also provides bindings for java, but they depend on Apache
maven, which we don't seem to have a package for yet, so here again, I
think that this can be added later.

Please let me know of anything that should be changed.

Thank you,
