hello,

nice work on gnome 2 i want to thank everyone who is working on it :-)

use it so please enjoy and expect more options. this is a major new
update which allows me to ensure easier development on this and more
options in the future. grab it from my homepage.

03-03-2002:
- 0.1.1 - changed a lot of stuff in this script. for example everything
	  is replaced to a function now. this offers us more dynamic
	  handling of things like checkout/update cvs only, or the
	  creation of .xinitrc file only etc. it's easier to update the
	  script with more features soon.
	- removed galaxymode.
	- updated popt to use a new version.
	- increased verbosity of normal operations.
	- fully menudriven script now.
	- reduced some clutter from the script to have it read easier.
	- make some facts clear about this script.
	- add options to the menu that allow you to delete or unrename
	  all dirs with the name '-installed-gxy'.
	- basic instructions and faq's added.
