Not sure why it is gone and if it is permanent or transient.

Worked around by downloading a copy from an alternate source:

wget https://github.com/pitzer/SiftGPU/archive/master.zip -O sift_gpu.zip

since the zipped directory is named SiftGPU-master instead of SiftGPU I had to quick-patch the script with mv SiftGPU-master SiftGPU:

diff --git a/vsfm_os_x_installer.sh b/vsfm_os_x_installer.sh
index 02ee64e..23dd733 100755
