Well the checklicense script should handle them if we want it to check them :)

woops, yeah for X copy and paste, that was a paste of my previous test one, 
not the highlighted real one :).  Here is the real line:

count=`cat /tmp/$$/check | grep "^!" | wc -l

There might be other issues in my little 10 line script that I don't know 
about yet.

I really just wanted to bring this up as an idea.  Using existing test scripts 
for things that can be automatically validated done at commit time rather 
then manually later.  Another one would be checking icons that are committed 
with the name crystal_48.png to see if they are really 48x48 as many images 
in kde are not the dimensions that the file name says they are.
