We've never enforced that every last file contain licensing information --
particularly the documentation and Jamfiles.  By my eye this is the majority
of the problems.  

I'm much more worried about the tabs and file lengths.  I believe 31 chars is
the maximum allowed on CD-ROMs and MAC platforms.  And, of course, tabs are
evil...

So if we wanted to filter down the report I suggest we throw out all the
licensing issues...

BTW: I've already checked in fixes for the date_time long filenames and files
with tabs...
