STATUS

scripts are all here:
/autofs/space/tensor_017/users/jpacheco/QAtools 

 * they should all be working now.

To-Do:
 * add a flag for -noasegoutlier - DONE by vp on 9/28/06
 * make version checker scripts output to the same log file as recon_checker - DONE by jp on 9/29/06
 * figure out a better way to define RECON_CHECKER_SCRIPTS and scriptDirs
 * add greconversion and greconversions to ALWAYS run first when the recon-checker is run - DONE by jp on 09/29/06
 * -outputfileorder appears to not work.
 * i think i can fix the snapshot script to make it run faster.

Things I've done:
 * I've created the pages ReconChecker and QAnotepad which will be the only place that full usage options for these scripts will be, eventually.
