hey, don't get me wrong... I _like_ GPL. If it was up to me I would
not even bother with MPL at all...

I was just concerned with the compatibility of LGPLv2 with LGPLv3+MPL.
and since there is some intent to try to get
to some kind of uniform LGPLv3/MPL compatibility... a LGPLv2 only
piece did not sound like progress toward that goal.

Michael apparently seems ok with dropping SISSL, and he is the biggest
proponent of MPL... so if that is good for him
and it is the fact that LGPLv2 is not at issue here (wrt with the
integation in the 'whole)
I don't care that much (actually that make the head smaller, which is
a plus :-) )

for example, http://www.emacswiki.org/ProjectSettings

If you put all that in the variable-line, the only recourse I have to
override is to patch emacs to make it ignore it :-(
