Can we please release a grokproject that doesn't mess around with 
versions.cfg as soon as possible? grokproject shouldn't add stuff to 
versions.cfg; it took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on 
(grokui.admin in there once in the versions.cfg of Grok and then once 
again added by a far too promiscuous grokproject) and I'd seen the issue 
about this in the first place!

It's just horribly embarassing that grokproject actually completely 
fails without doing this. Has Grok been uninstallable without manual 
modifications for a week now?

I'd say if we have the choice between waiting for Windows fixes and 
actually making Grok install properly at all on *any* platform, we 
always choose making Grok install at least *somewhere*.
