Im not exactly sure!  I just do a cvs update once or twice a day and
rebuild.  So whatever cvs HEAD is, thats what you need.

Perhaps there is a way to avoid the inclusion of a gcl tarball?  Given
the regular updates to gcl it helps a great deal to link our build
image using a suitable gcl in ones path.  Thus if gcl changes we
simply remake gcl and install, rm lsp/gcldir, and remake in the Axiom
tree.

Thanks a lot for getting this into Silver!  That will help the
development along very nicely!

Take care,
Steve
