[Building Sakai] Scorm player for sakai 2.6

Thu Jan 7 07:05:08 PST 2010

+1 for applying the patch
+1 for moving the EDIA Scorm extensions to contrib/scorm

All of the SoftChalk Sakai integration depends on the SCORM player.  
Currently, it's only running with Sakai 2.5.x and SoftChalk would like 
to move up to 2.6.x.  Currently using the David code, but I'd REALLY 
like to start using the EDIA code.
