 Basic Gawk program that uses Ctan's published guidelines for
 authors to help eliminate slopiness in uploaded files/project.

 It is completely open for users to program additional
 guidelines and Ctan's future adjustments. 

 The program came about when I first attempted to upload
 ``Yacco2'' for Ctan consideration.
 As Yacco2 was quite large, it took me 3 attempts to clean up my
 project.  Depending on how you develop your project, in my case
 the Yacco2 project for Ctan upload is a subset of the complete
 system and so each uplift required the guideline
 assessment/purging process.

 This is my attempt to help both the author in getting the new
 system in shape for Ctan uplift and to lower the Ctan
 volunteers interaction to aid in publishing on their servers.

 It is my thank you to these volanteers / Ctan.
