Not quite ready for release - shooting for November for release --- I'm 
probably a day or so away from having the scripts and minimal 
documentation ready for early adopters ...

GsDevKit_home is an overhaul of the basic scripts ... the functionality 
is pretty much the same, but I've reorganized/renamed the scripts and 
reduced the number of script and hopefully made things clearer:

   createStone
   startStone
   stopStone
   deleteStone

   createClient
   startClient
   deleteClient

A client can be installed without the "server modules" and clients can 
be gemtools, jade, or tode (only tODE is fully functional at the 
moment). The client scripts will run on mac, linux, or windows (using a 
bash shell from Github Desktop for windows)...

For both the server and client modules I am expecting that the core 
GsDevKit repositories will be cloned to local disk (I have a script for 
this) ... if you already have local clones for these repos (Metacello, 
FileTree, GLASS1, Tode, RB, Ston) it should be straightforward to swap 
them in ... of course the documentation for this has not been written 
yet:) but I am attempting to structure things to make it straightforward ..

today I plan to work on an `attachServer` script that will allow one to 
use the the "client modules" and/or "server modules" with an existing 
stone ... With GsDevKit_home I have made a few minor changes to the disk 
structure relative the GsDevKitHome on the dev branch ... so I expect to 
be able to automate the attachment process (thanks to Mariano for being 
a pioneer in this area ... Most of the significant changes in tODE[1] 
have been made on the client, but there are some changes that will 
probably need to be in the server as well, so a tODE update is probably 
required.

I will send mail on this list when I think things are ready for folks to 
try it out on an experimental basis and kick the tires.
