I don't see any problem with putting a CVS comment line above the 
license text at the top of the file.  My personal preference is:

  /* $Id$
   *
   * ... the standard license text goes here ...
   */

so that a "head -1" lists the id strings, but that's just me.

-- check out Sun Java Studio Creator if you want to know what I'm 
currently working on :-) -- will take care of this over the weekend.

If it were after JavaOne I'd do this in a shot ... unfortunately, it's 
not yet :-(.
