ANNOUNCE: new GRASS 4.2.1 (V.16)

[Angus Carr]

I can offer a space for a north american mirror, if one is desired,
although I cannot guarantee it for more than about six months, after which
something may happen to the machine.

I've never mirrored anything, but I don't imagine an automatic setup would
be hard. 

I am very much in support of mirroring, for the same sorts of reasons
cited below.
