Moving Easy-RCMET mirrors to Apache

All,

We mirrored a large number of dependencies at JPL when developing
Easy-RCMET. Per [1], this is causing problems if you're not on the JPL
network. I've edited the above issue with licence info for all the packages
that we're currently mirroring. Where can we move these packages so
everyone can get to them?

Mike,

Why do we need a password? Those dependencies should be available
under public URLs (even on our mirror at JPL, no?)

Longer term: we should vet all licenses, (which looks like all are
Category-A compatible per [1]), and then define places those dependencies
can live. The ASF is not in the business of rehosting dependencies, so
they typically ask upstream providers to do that. JPL is a fine upstream
provider, so our mirror can easily stay, not a big deal.

Short term: just change the way that the dependencies are read (they
should all be available e.g., at
http://oodt.jpl.nasa.gov/download/public/climate/<dep name>/..etc./)

Make sense?

Cheers,
Chris
