Gulp

This name has a funny background. Many years ago, I was in an IRC conversation with a developer who began describing a build tool he was making. I was a jerk and scoffed at the API, and began sketching out my own build tool. I named it grabthar after my favorite joke from Galaxy Quest. It didn't go anywhere, but I kept the source around. When it came time to write a tool for Matanuska, I decided to reuse the name. But anyway, it turns out I was talking to the author of Grunt, and boy did I look silly.
