	I need a tree that has more than two children per node.  As far as
I can tell, GTree will only work as a binary tree, not a BTree (although I
admit I have not looked at the source very thoroughly).

	Assuming GTree is using Red/Black to do its balancing, I could
probably just adapt the GTree code to have multiple children.  I haven't
had time to look at it closely yet...
