It was there before, and I commented it out because it looked suspicious

I didn't want a CSWganglia package, just the rt and agent packages

Later, there will be CSWgangliadev, CSWgangliagmetad, CSWgangliaweb and 
CSWgangliamodpy or something like that perhaps.

There isn't really:
- the rt package is shared by the agent (gmond) and the server (gmetad)
- usually people just want the agent on most of their machines, and the 
server on one or two machines

I will move them - thanks for pointing this out

Thanks, I hope I can make it easy for people to use
