+# Note
+# in spring 2010, an attempt was made to use pycurl instead of forking curl
+# it turned out, however, that after around 10 cycles of the nodemanager,
+# attempts to call GetSlivers were failing with a curl error 60
+# we are thus reverting to the version from tag curlwrapper.py-NodeManager-2.0-8
+# the (broken) pycurl version can be found in tags 2.0-9 and 2.0-10
