Tim,

  I fixed the problem in the silver branch, by copying the patch file
from the tla branch to the SVN branch.  Now, we are brack to buildville.

It would be helpful if we could also have the GCL-2.6.8pre patches
also in the silver branch.  In particular, we should have all the
current codes in the gold branch in the silver branch .

Next:

   (1) fix other file "corruptions" introduced  during the conversion;
   (2) fix the recursive copy problem.

I don't promise to do all that by tonight :-)
