[Halld-offline] GlueX software on GitHub, trial port

[Mark Ito]

Folks,

I've put up fresh versions of hdds and sim-recon on github. The 
repositories are:

   https://github.com/JeffersonLab/hdds.git
   https://github.com/JeffersonLab/sim-recon.git

Note that these repositories belong to the "Jefferson Lab" organization 
of GitHub. Anyone in the world can pull. Members of the "GlueX" team of 
the "Jefferson Lab" organization can push.

If you would like to be a member of the team, let me know and I can send 
you an invitation. You have to have a github account to receive invitations.

We are still in the fooling-around mode. Your expectation should be that 
any changes to these repositories will be permanently deleted at some point.

Also note that I will be deleting the repositories in my private account 
(those mentioned in the previous message, below).
