What do we want to do about GM? It's actually a problem -- nothing can use GM right now, as it stands.
The GM package is downloadable off OPD, and thanks to efforts from Jeremy Enos, it does everything legally -- it pops open a window for the username and password on the Myricom FTP site. Once you enter those, it gets the latest GM source tarball, compiles it, and installs it.
However, the GM that LAM was compiled with will almost certainly be a different version (it is now, for certain -- the latest gm in the 2.0.x series is 2.0.17), thereby making it unusable. I don't know how other packages are bundled that use GM, but unless they're updated frequently (which I know they're not), they'll suffer from the same problem.
So the issue is that we *don't* have a fixed version of GM, but all the packages that use it will require a fixed version (because things change in each release of GM).
Suggestions?

I've attached a binary rpm audit of the trunk.
Various conventions are used to partition distro-specific packages. Should we make this consistent?
Package-specific comments:
c3 -python2 for i386?
hdf5 -Huh? -mdk90
lam -ia64 in rh90? -gm only for rh90/i386?
maui -extra maui-oscar-debuginfo
mpich -ia64 in rh80? -mdk90?
openpbs -missing ia64. Do we care?
perl-qt -no distro-specific dirs? -libsmokeqt1?
pvm -mkd90? -mdk92?
sis -inconsistent versions
switcher -env-switcher only in fedora2? -mkd90? -mdk92?
