Replace Globus references in package description & summary text about gct HOT 4 CLOSED

The original package description text says:

The Globus Toolkit is an open source software toolkit used for building Grid
systems and applications. It is being developed by the Globus Alliance and
many others all over the world. A growing number of projects and companies are
using the Globus Toolkit to unlock the potential of grids for their cause.

I would suggest something like:

The Grid Community Toolkit (GCT) is an open source software toolkit used for
building grid systems and applications. It is a fork of the Globus Toolkit
originally created by the Globus Alliance. It is supported by the Grid
Community Forum (GridCF) that provides community-based support for core
software packages in grid computing.

We should also include Autoconf input files, e.g.:

./configure.ac:

[...]
AC_INIT([globus_toolkit], gtreleasebuild, [https://github.com/globus/globus-toolkit/issues])

m4_define([short_version], [m4_substr(AC_PACKAGE_VERSION, [0],
    m4_index(AC_PACKAGE_VERSION, [.]))])
AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT([/usr/local/globus-]short_version)
[...]

...changed to maybe:

[...]
AC_INIT([gct], gtreleasebuild, [https://github.com/gridcf/gct/issues])

m4_define([short_version], [m4_substr(AC_PACKAGE_VERSION, [0],
    m4_index(AC_PACKAGE_VERSION, [.]))])
AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT([/usr/local/gct-]short_version)
[...]

But this also comes for a price as long as Globus is still providing patches, because if we e.g. change the issue URL or package name or the content of AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT and Globus changes the same files later we need to be careful not to reintroduce their naming and references when merging their changes (e.g. like Mattias @ellert did in babc258).

from gct.

The issue URLs in the AC_INIT macros in the configure.ac files were changed in PR #27, whic also changed the descriptions in the pkg-config (.pc) files. The descriptions in the debian packaging files are changed in PR #31.

This issue looks fixed to me, so I'm closing it.
