Hi Barry,

Yes, we didn't want to (couldn't) make it part of Cactus, i.e. in an 
arrangement starting with "Cactus".  But I thought we were going to still host 
it under the Cactus BitBucket account, since being under Einstein Toolkit 
doesn't make much sense.  It is of interest to a wider community than just 
those using Cactus for GR.  The idea was to have a generic location for free 
software Cactus thorns which are not part of Cactus.
