List.

I could use some help here.  Upstream has moved to a system where you 
must register before being able to download the source.  See 
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/ for more information.  Also, they have 
merged the ncar graphics package with NCL.  The ncl package review is 
here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381241

Patrice who was doing the review does not want to approve a package 
where you have to register to download the source.  I'm not sure I blame 
him.  I'm not sure that there is a policy on this though.  If we're not 
going to allow it though, I need to retire the ncarg package from Fedora.
