[Owncloud] Movable Apps

I believe there should be different branches of a single apps
repository, rather than a different apps-playground repo. Merges with
the master branch would be easier in this case.

@Georg: maybe I don't understand it, you are suggesting something of this kind:
<path>/owncloud/apps/
<path>/apps

how do you specify which app folder should owncloud refer to?

thanks,
Alessandro
