Some follow ups
While registering the package of SUNWgmime, we found that there was
already one with the same name existing in JDS gate. We'd have to modify
the package name to be "SUNWlibgmime".
If there's no objections, I'll go ahead modifying the case with the
following lines
SUNWgmime Uncommitted package Name
SUNWgmime-devel Uncommitted dev package Name
Replaced by
SUNWlibgmime Uncommitted package Name
SUNWlibgmime-devel Uncommitted dev package Name
