It hasn't been added because, as far as I know, it hasn't been
submitted.

Perhaps a note on the license here.  We don't consider anything a contribution
unless you make it clear that something is.
- If you email us a file or bug fixes to stick into the distribution
we consider that clear intent.
- if you actually say 'this is a contribution under the LPL' that's even better.
I'ld prefer to see that in stuff that's genuinely new.  Anything you write
yourself you can release under as many licenses as you like.

We are making a leap of faith that the code isn't ripped off from something
released under another license (like the GPL).  We do generally look at things
and try to ascertain that but, not having seen all gnu code, we could miss things.

If something is covered by another license, that's OK, but we'ld want to keep it
separate in any distribution we do and add that license to its directory.

If it passes our somewhat questionable taste, we'll stick it in the distribution.
If it doesn't people are still free to call it a contribution (or not) and distribute it
from some other site.

At the moment 'we' comprises rsc, presotto, and jmk.
