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. b.
