OK. It looks like a few non-critical testing apps crept through. I've  
added a few more prunings to tinyos.files.

If the nesc RPM is going to require guile, then we need to point  
people to place to get it, or tell them it's OK to install with -- 
nodeps. The latter seems preferable, but then why do we have it in  
the first place?
