Featured Apps for Maverick

[Robert Ancell]

 +1 for swapping applications to showcase more.  The list is not "the
best applications out there" (there are plenty of websites that do this)
but more "some things not on the CD but worth trying".

One thing to look out for, check carefully before recommending OpenGL
applications.  We should only recommend apps that the majority can run
out of the box, and not only if you have hardware X.  My experience with
3D out of the box seems greatly improved over Lucid however.
