Does this proposed patch from Doug meet the check-in policy 
requirements?  I thought it was *really* obvious what I was trying to 
point out, but let me be more blunt..

CheckinPolicy [1]

"Any new source file checked into the Open64 source tree should have a 
GPL v2+ compatible license."

Change the policy or quit bitching when someone tries to help point out 
the obvious with code review..
