Okay, this is the only message(s) I have on this ... since "merging"
earthdistance back into the tree will most likely cause more headaches,
breakage and outcries, and since I see no reason why anyone would want to
'checkout' a module that has already been checked out (instead of doing an
update like the rest of us), there is no way I'm going to put
earthdistance back in ...

... unless there is, in fact, a completely different problem?

Once v7.3 is released, I'd like to see a continuation of moving the
non-core stuff over to GBorg, as well, so this will likely disappear at
that time ...
