GPL v2 - LICENSE.txt is the GPL v2
GPL v3 - LICENSE.txt is the GPL v3

Then there are cases like pdogg, where LICENSE.txt is GPL v2 but in README.txt 
the author writes that the license is LGPL.

How do I figure this out from the files inside a given libdir?

I believe those cases are where the only info I had was a statement in a README 
or somewhere that said "This software is released under the GPL".
