'k, this looks sweet ... are there any better docs for it though?  For 
instance, if I have two 5.x servers, and want to replicate serverA:/fs1 -> 
serverB:/fs1, from what I can tell, I setup/startup ggated on serverA, and 
serverB is setup with ggatec to "pull" that data across ... correct?  Now, 
how do you get serverB:/fs1 in sync with serverA:/fs1 in the first place? 
Is there an 'initialize' function that will have ggatec pull everything 
across?
