If there have been no commits to the gborg version in almost a year, what
would a new release be based off of? What I'm really curious of is why
the patches to -core didn't get into gborg ... IMHO, the current gborg
seems to have gone 'stale' :(

Well, that works too ... since I know the gborg version is not in sync
with the -core version, and since I think that bringing gborg in sync with
-core would be confusing at best ... if you can create the project, I can
copy the current CVS files (with history) from -core to gborg ... I really
don't want to lose the changes/history over the past year ...
