i actually wrote the code from scratch. our gnats installation is hacked
up beyond belief, and nothing stock would work with it.

i profiled my code with dprof, and it didn't tell me anything i didn't
know (ie, 95% of cpu time was spent in
VMware::Gnats->convert_pr_to_bugzilla). i think most of the slowness
comes from reading gnats pr's off of a nfs mounted hd.

anyway, i'd love to glance through your code, although the chance of
rewriting mine right before launch is pretty slim :-)
