Heh, not so fast.  I've got other things to do first.  I was just
pointing out that it is not so hard to correct some of the stale
information, and it is useful to do this as a pointer to those who may
wish to more actively maintain the port later, even if it is moved to
the attic in a few months.

I should add that globus comes with a bundled version of gpt, and I
think the Debian port is based upon this -- it's at 3.6.x.  Also, that
brooks@, who was involved in adding this port and other related
software, could probably tell you more about grid software.
