In using RAT to check potential Subversion release tarballs, I've bumped =
into a couple of its, uh, limitations.  To that end, I've hacked up the =
attached patch which fixes the immediate itch of not wanting to have to =
unpack the tarball before running the tool.  I'm not sure what the RAT =
patch submission guidelines are, so I'm just sending it here, with the =
following caveats.

Caveats:
 * Reports aren't sorted properly for .tar.gz; standard filesystem =
targets remain unaffected.
 * Needed to add a new dependency (ant) to pick up TarInputStream and =
friends.
 * My maven-fu is *very* limited (read: nonexistent) so I kind of =
guessed at the build system tweakage which needed to happen for the =
above.  Comments/pointers/tweaks appreciated.
 * My Java is a bit rusty, so I may not have done things in the most =
efficient way.
 * I don't know the standard RAT coding conventions, but attempted to =
follow existing conventions where possible.

Future work:
 * Allow running on .zip and .tar.bz2 tarballs.  This should be =
relatively easy.
 * Properly sort the output of the report generated by running RAT on =
tarballs.

Let me know of any feedback you may have, or feel free to just tweak the =
patch before committing.  I plan on implementing the followup patches =
after this one gets committed.

Cheers,
-Hyrum
