I've updated http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/~mark/sge6.tgz to incorporate your 
points below and to update to the 6.0.8 tarball.

I used 536 and 537 as they were the examples used in some Sun document I found 
(and they follow on from 535).  Not sure the sge_commd line is still needed 
but I've left it there for the moment.

? It does depend on it and the dependency is there.

The way spoolinit is called from within inst_sge it does look in the correct 
place and load this.

This was broken and now fixed in the updated patch-am.

Thats the initializing databases problem I mentioned.  The person I asked to 
look at it never got anywhere, and I haven't really poked at it myself.  The 
relevant code is in gridengine/source/libs/uti/sge_profiling.c.
