It's claimed to be pretty trivial with YAIM.

See the end for the list of the 43 VOs with replica catalogues visible
from the RAL BDII. You can also look at the CIC portal to see the ones
which are known to EGEE:

Probably at least:
alice
atlas
babar
cdf
cms
herab
hermes
hone
ilc
lhcb
zeus
There should also be dzero, maybe they don't have a catalogue.

If you check the auth server when you make the grid map file you would
only get people who have signed the LCG AUP - not that that actually
means a lot.

I think I said the opposite, that the sites shouldn't be chasing VOs to
install software and run jobs.

Well, the VOs go to EGEE as a whole and ask for resources. That
effectively means the ROC managers. As I understand it the UKI ROC has
agreed that GridPP will provide a nominal 0.5% allocation to "other" VOs
approved in EGEE, but I don't think anyone has really either defined
what that means or done anything to make it happen.
