ARK release 20021001

Folks, I have just done a full release of all the Arusha
Project stuff I could get my hands on (teams: ARK, arksf1,
glasli1, sample1, sidai, simple1, verilab2).  The release
notes I sent to freshmeat are something like those below :-)
Wander to http://sourceforge.net/projects/ark for the bits.

The main thing is improvement on bootstrapping the system
(and documentation about it); many thanks to Joel Shprentz
for his help with this.

*MAILING LISTS CHANGE*: We are putting the `ark-users'
mailing list into storage for a while, and reverting to
`ark-dev' as the only ARK discussion list.  I have
subscribed the few of you who were on `ark-users' but not
`ark-dev', so no action is required on your part.  I do not
anticipate any difference in quantity or quality of messages
that will come your way.  Full mailing lists' info:
http://ark.sourceforge.net/mailing-lists.html

If any of you need help exploring or thinking about Arusha
Project stuff, or have "it would be great if..." ideas,
please speak up or get in touch.

== release notes =======================================

ARK bootstrapping, and its documentation, is much improved
and internally consistent.  ARK now admits 'external'
things, those it knows about but does not operate on.

In the Sidai team: A new 'client' thing has been introduced,
the opposite of a 'vendor' thing.  FlexLM licensing setups
now work directly from 'license' things.  Newly supported
packages include: GnuPG, Icarus Verilog, LPRng, Quixote,
Roundup, SpamAssassin, TightVNC.  Plus many other package
updates, minor improvements and bug fixes.
