[hpsdr] New Hermes and Metis code available

[Ken N9VV]

Early tester report: ANAN-10/Hermes loaded the new 2.1 rbf file without 
incident. Been running for 5 hours using new code and serving QtRadio
on the Internet.

HPSDRProgrammer operated perfectly on Ubuntu 12.10 Linux with LXDE and 
XFCE Windowing systems. I was able to update the EEPROM in a few 
seconds. Screen pictures are on the Apache Labs Yahoo Group Photo section.

Thank you Phil and Joe and all who are involved in extending the great 
excitement and pleasure of using the new Hermes/Apache equipment.
