Rename Root Directory "EinsteinToolkit"

   For me this has the feeling of going in the wrong direction. Our current thornlist only downloads "Cactus" so the name of the root directory seems correct.

   When we have a second component list that contains more than just "Cactus", for example one for "LORENE" then I would call the root of that second one "LORENE".

   At that point a third "everything" component list that includes both LORENE and Cactus may make sense which could then be called EinsteinToolkit.

   I have to admit though, that this seems like a minor point to me and changing it to EinsteinToolkit is also something I would be happy with.

   I am on the same page as Roland. As the current component list is really a thornlist, and thus, downloads only stuff for Cactus, the name isn't incorrect. We could call it something else, but I think we should have a good reason, as it would change what the default does.

   I would think that with other codes, independent of Cactus, joining the ET (soonish as I hear), we will have other component lists that don't even download the Cactus stuff, but only one of these other components.

   As to an 'overall' components list: I am not sure this would go well with the current GetComponents script and multiple root-dir entries, but the GetComponent script isn't set in stone either. We could allow changing ROOT inside a list, I suppose.
