    Update names of the ntfs and reiserfs specific packages (#753436) · ff3f51ac

    The ntfs-3g package previously provided the FUSE based NTFS driver to
    mount the file system and ntfsprogs provided the user space tools.  In
    April 2011 the packages have merged [1] forming ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs.  Arch
    Linux / Debian / Slackware / Ubuntu now just have an ntfs-3g package
    with everything; where as CentOS / Fedora / openSUSE are sticking with
    the original two package names.  Reverse the order of the needed
    packages to:
    
        ntfs-3g / ntfsprogs
    
    [1] Release: NTFS-3G + NTFSPROGS 2011.4.12
        http://www.tuxera.com/release-ntfs-3g-ntfsprogs-2011-4-12/
    
    For reiserfs the upstream package is named reiserfsprogs.  Arch Linux /
    Debian / Slackware / Ubuntu use this name; but CentOS / Fedora name it
    reiserfs-utils and openSUSE names it just reiserfs.  Update the README
    file with all 3 package names.
    
        reiserfsprogs / reiserfs-utils / reiserfs
    
    In the File System Support dialog just use the first 2 package names as
    we don't want to make the dialog too wide with all 3 names and hopefully
    on openSUSE it is more obvious that the reiserfs package is needed to
    support the reiserfs file system.
    
    NOTE:
    Again this slightly increases the width of the File System Support
    dialog on my CentOS 6 desktop with default fonts, now from 676 to 707
    pixels.  Again still well within the 800 wide target and still narrower
    than the main window.
