+# The following is a directory on the test grid which holds a bunch of packages of dependencies.
+# It is commented-out because unfortunately the test grid is currently (2009-03-05) too
+# unreliable -- it occasionally fails, and when it fails it usually does so by waiting a very
+# long time with no response to the HTTP GET.  This occasionally makes builds painfully slow.
+# There are several issues which might be responsible for this bad behavior of test grid: #193,
+# #253, #287, #651, #653.
