[AG-TECH] CVS assistance - I'd LIKE to be able to check out the new stuff

[Eric Olson]

Hi,
CVS is changing quite often right now, so it's very difficult to work from 
that code at the moment.
When we release an alpha, you will be able to use the included packages to 
work from cvs.

Some of the problems you're having now may be helped by getting updated 
dependencies such as SOAPpy and pyGlobus, but you will still run into 
issues with new code that hasn't been polished up yet.

Eric
