there is an archive that has everything one might need, a GT4 container, 
the service code (which is already deployed in the GT4 container), the 
executor code, the client code, and the monitor GUI code.  We also 
bundle a 1.4 32bit JRE.  There is a configuration file that points to 
where the logs are supposed to go, and another one with what security 
mechanisms you want to use.  There are also a bunch of settable 
parameters in the startup scripts, and a few obscure setable parameters 
in the code, that requires recompiling the service.  To recompile the 
service, you need ANT installed and configured as well as 1.4+ JDK; to 
recompile anything else, you just need 1.4+ JDK.  With a single script, 
and a single arguement (the port number), you can start the entire 
Falkon system!

My understanding is that the Falkon provider can be specified in the 
sites.xml, including where the Falkon dispatcher will be found.  Other 
than that, everything else should be straight forward.
