[AG-TECH] vic/rat installation in AG2.4

Hi Zephyr,

For the old monolythic AccessGrid-2.4 RPM, they're installed by default, for 
the newer compat-AccessGrid-2.4 noarch RPM, I apply a patch so that 
/usr/bin/vic and /usr/bin/rat are used instead.

That make-ag-rpm script was for AG 2.2 on RedHat 7.3 and isn't used anymore.

You can grab compat-AccessGrid-2.4, AccessGrid-rat and AccessGrid-vic RPMs 
from:
   http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/suse/10.1/i586/

The above RPMs were built on SUSE 10.1, I assume they'll also work on SUSE 
10. The python-*i586 RPMs won't be suitable for x86-64 SUSE, and would need 
to be rebuilt for x86-64. The python-*noarch RPMs should work fine with 
x86-64 SUSE.
