Since globus is only one of the numerous ways of setting up a grid, I'm
not sure that such a package would be a good idea. What if we later add
diet or gridsolve or whatever to the archive? Since these solutions are
far from being compatible, a virtual package does not seem sound either
to me.

What about renaming these packages globus-client and globus-server?
