violation of GPL for solaris binaries

[Stefan Teleman]

That would be very cool to do -- put all the forte fixes in HEAD. It 
is a lot of work, but i love doing it. It would also make my life 
much easier for subsequent releases, because i would not have to 
re-apply all the forte fixes from scratch.

At the same time i do realize that the core developers might be uneasy 
about letting me check in source code when they've never seen my code 
(well ok, maybe they've seen the Sun binaries, does that count :-) 
So, if you would like to have some temporary area where i can check 
them in the beginning, instead of slamming them directly into HEAD, 
that's cool too.
