Make sure a recent version of GPS Babel is available for EL 5 and 6

Either add it to ELGIS or see with Fedora / EPEL maintainer how to make it available in EPEL 5 (update) and 6 (add)

The rpm installation of gpsbabel should have two postinstall actions:

• Blacklist the garmin_gps kernel module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and remove it from memory:

  # rmmod garmin_gps
  

• add a udev rule to allow regular users to access garmin devices. i.e.:

  # cat etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules
  # SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="0666"
  # udevadm control --reload-rules

GpsBabel 1.4.2 is available in ELGIS6.

There is some work to have it for EL5 instead of the 1.3.x provided in EPEL, so I suggest that we don't bother with it.

For the additions you suggest in the postinstall, this means that we won't have the same spec file as Fedora anymore. But I'm personally for it since it would simplify my life as well.
