Re: GOK 0.7.0 now available

Simon, David and Bill,

Yeah, this is great news.  I'm looking forward to building gok as part
of garnome so that I can show people what it is and how it works (and to
take a look myself as I don't have a lot of time to spend grabbing from
cvs to build)

Any idea whether gnopernicus might also be tarballed for inclusion?

Lest we forget...

"They disembarked in 45,
 And no one spoke and no one smiled,
 There were too many spaces in the line.
 And Gathered at the cenotaph,
 All agreed with hand on heart, 
 To sheath the sacrificial knives.

"But now...
 She stands upon Southampton Dock
 With her handkerchief, and her summer frock
 That clings to her wet body in the rain. 
 In quiet desperation
 Knuckles white upon the slippery reins,
 She bravely waves the boys goodbye again"

			-- Southampton Dock, by Pink Floyd
