[Glass] Install problem

[Dale Henrichs]

Gary,

I was able to reproduce your problem ... when I ran my earlier test I 
was using an already cloned version of the project and I wasn't using 
the same project entry.

The  bug was occurring because the project entry that is used to install 
Seaside had the pattern match in it[1] (note the 3.1.?):

    repository: \'github://GsDevKit/Seaside31:3.1.?/repository\'

I replaced the `3.1.? with `v3.1.4.2-gs` and the project loaded 
correctly from that point on. I've patched the project entry[2] up on 
github ...

I recommend that you delete the stone for the failed seaside install and 
run the install script from scratch and let me know if you run into more 
problems ...

Dale
