[kepler-dev] Could not get alternate top pack, how do I save something as a KAR

[Derik Barseghian]

Hi Christopher,

I just noticed the "Could not get alternate top pack" message as well.  
Linux throws errors when you click on the menu items, but the mac  
doesn't, so I'm not sure for how long this been a problem.

ant clean-all doesn't remove ~/KeplerData. The idea is that KeperData  
stores persistant data, and .kepler is now just for temporary files.
