[Glass] Questions about the new tODE

I have a correction regarding the "default install" during a project 
load ...

I said that `project load` does a `project install` by default. The 
`project install` is only executed if you use the `--url` option:

|project load --url=http://gsdevkit.github.io/GsDevKit_home/Seaside3.ston

or the `--install` option:

   project load --install Seaside3
