network-manager-openconnect 0.9.6.0 requires NM 0.9.6.0.

I have a PPA with the latest NetworkManager and plugins building
automatically every day. Obviously, that means none of it is really
tested with any kind of frequency.

However, it means it's trivial to cut stable versions for the *stable*
 PPA for Precise, now that the whole stack has been released for
0.9.6.0. I'll try to get that done today; but again, doesn't mean it
will be very stable or very tested.
