Patches for software in the VDT

When we build software for the VDT, we patch Globus and Apache.

Building Globus for VDT 1.6.0

To build Globus for VDT 1.6.0, we check out Globus 4.0 using the globus_4_0_3 tag then we apply the patches that follow. If you like, you can look at the source code after it has been patched.

You can download the tarball with the complete set of patches here.
