Making the regex smart enough to understand C++ comments, reliably, is 
not easy. So the next best thing... I expanded the set of content tags 
one can put in files to avoid test:

   boostinspect:nocopyright
   boostinspect:nocrlf
   boostinspect:nolicense
   boostinspect:nolink
   boostinspect:nominmax
   boostinspect:notab

I've also shortened the amount of output. And split the emails into two 
parts: license+copyright and the rest of the checks. The way I shortened 
the output should also make it easy to quickly search for types of errors.

Enjoy :-)
