Wow! That would be a lot better than finding out long after the fact. 
Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know if SourceForge supports this, and how to go about it?

Could someone who feels comfortable writing a script for that environment 
volunteer to take this on?

I guess all we want to do is verify that all filesnames are 31 characters 
or less (current filter is grep -v -E "^.{0,31}$") and that ".cpp", ".cxx", 
".h", ".hpp", and ".py" files have no tabs and end in cr, cr/nl, or nl.
