Ewww.

Thanks for doing these.

Various degrees of standard compliance. Not sure if we need it.

libpayload for palm pilot? *ducks*

If we take code from a BSD wholesale, these are sensible to track
upstream. That's how they do it among each other, so we can expect those
ids to be correct.

Just to avoid any misunderstanding here: Code can still be imported from
other sources, but not as a simple cp -R job.
