Use "Program", not "<Program>"

It's more a question of how to write launchd plists, of course, which
the members of this list probably aren't experts on. I can't get
svnserve to start, even making the above changes. But I'm not a
launchd plist expert either. :) Consult "man launchd.plist" or a Mac
OS X mailing list.
