[Swift-devel] CREAM-CE support

[Ben Clifford]

(Bruce was someone I worked with on my various visits to Johannesburg 
previously, as part of OSG outreach work. Hi Bruce! We did some hacking 
before with 2009-era Swift to get stuff running. The big deal, I think, 
was file staging in a way that worked the way the EMI stack wanted it - I 
think some of the way the coasters/provider staging work has gone would 
make this easier. Based on my occasional reading of this list and not much 
else. Good luck.)
