Comment (by eschnett):
I used a very much shortened version of the ET manifest, containing only a single thorn. I don't believe there was a COMPONENTLIST_TARGET in there. I am also not too fond of the einsteintoolkit.th file generated in the main Cactus directory, but I can live with that.
If GetComponents wants to use this thorn list at a later time, then it needs to have a standard name. Keeping track of all checked out thorns makes a lot of sense, but this would need to be stored in the Cactus directory (not in home) and have a standard name. For example, .crl/ThornList or CRL/ThornList would be good candidates.
