It would also help if we had a new grokcore.component release (you 
released a new martian but not a new grokcore.component). Because then 
you could also simply depend on grokcore.component (w/o any version 
pinning) and you'd get the newest releases of both which should work 
together. With a new martian and an old grokcore.component out, this 
doesn't work.

If you like, I can make a new grokcore.component release tonight. Also, 
what about Grok? Do you need help with updating that to the new syntax?
