Relevant to recent discussion about LGPL modules depending on GPL ones, 
this file has no module so was missed during that discussion.  The 
message above sent last week provides a patch to fix *most* of the 
issues with progreloc -- save a license change on the progname module 
(which, I believe?, needs to come from RMS).

However, the other fixes could be applied now, so that there is only one 
remaining GPL/LGPL issue, instead of four.

So...ping?
