1. gist README typo

   Kevin Grittner <kevin.grittner@wicourts.gov> — 2010-04-14T19:50:14Z

   In the embarrassingly trivial department, I think I found a
   misspelled word in the GiST README file (unless it's a valid
   alternate spelling I've never seen).

   This patch wouldn't apply for me for some reason (mangled
   whitespace?), so I just fixed the typo by hand and committed.
   
   It seems like this README could use a bit more editing to make it read
   better if anyone is so inclined, although certainly the meaning is
   clear enough.

   Yup.  Somehow I stripped trailing spaces off of lines.  I think my
   editor was being a bit too "helpful".  I'll try to watch that.
    
   Although, maybe we should clean up trailing spaces in READMEs?:

   I think the same could be said for many of the README files.  In
   particular, some of them don't seem to have fully adjusted to being
   fact, rather than proposal.  I'll add it to my list of things to
   consider working on.
