GetComponents on Cactus website is out of date
When I download GetComponents using the instructions at
http://cactuscode.org/documentation/GetComponents.php
I get the following warning when I run it:
You are using an outdated version of GetComponents. Please use the version from GitHub (https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL) (if you are using the Einstein Toolkit, the new version should already be in Cactus/bin/GetComponents
The version of GetComponents on the Cactus website should be automatically updated from the GitHub repository when the repository is changed. It should not be necessary for users to have Git to check out Cactus.

When I try to follow the instructions, I get the following error:
MacBook:testcactus ian$ wget https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/master/GetComponents --2011-03-23 15:39:51-- https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/master/GetComponents Resolving github.com... 207.97.227.239 Connecting to github.com|207.97.227.239|:443... connected. ERROR: certificate common name `*.github.com' doesn't match requested host name `github.com'. To connect to github.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.
If I use the suggested option, it works, and I can download Cactus from a thornlist, but I don't think we should suggest this. Can we figure out what the problem with the certificate is?

"This is actually a wget bug which has been reported and fixed but not released: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409938
You can bypass the bug by using the flag that the error message gives you."

Rather than suggesting to pass the --no-check-certificate flag, I could have the user right-click the GetComponents link in order to save the file (removing the .txt extension).

Either that (which browser adds a .txt - isn't that kind of ancient?), or even better, suggest curl instead of wget (but it might be good to mention this problem with wget):
curl -O https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/master/GetComponents

curl is maybe nicer since you an do that on a cluster (saves one scp call) and we can use the same command in the new users tutorial where we would presumably would like to keeps things as simple as possible for new users.

The line has been updated to use curl.
