[maemo-developers] Howto enable portrait mode support on Fremantle

[From: Cornelius Hald]

I´ve updated the wiki page with all the information that was provided in 
this thread. If something is not clear, please feel free to update the page.

Thanks again to everyone who answered on this thread, especially Vlad 
who was the first with a working solution. Also the source code of 
omweather was very helpful. Big thanks to Kimmo too for the final 
clarification :)

Cheers!
Conny
