BUGS

       gpt-install currently does not honor static build numbers.  Instead it will replace any
       pgm_static package that is the same version or older.  For example:

         gpt-install -force foo-2.1-2-gcc32-pgm_static.tar.gz

         foo-1.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
         foo-2.1-1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
         foo-2.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced.
         foo-2.2-1-gcc32-pgm_static will not be replaced.
         foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm will not be replaced.
