Update for GIP sub-cluster information (May-June 2008)

• Re-run configure-osg.sh on your OSG 0.8 gatekeeper host to update the sub-cluster definition so that WLCG normalization factors are determined correctly.
• It takes about a day for changes to propagate, but you should see the sub-clusters appearing on: https://t2.unl.edu/gratia/wlcg_reporting (browser with a grid certificate required)
