Changes to keyword scanner to scan all text files and warn about the existence 
of zip, tar etc
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HARMONY-17
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-17
     Project: Harmony
        Type: Bug
  Components: Misc  
    Reporter: zoe slattery
 Assigned to: Geir Magnusson Jr 
    Priority: Minor


The keyword scanning tool searches files which have an extension (specified by 
the user) of .c, .java etc. The intent was only to scan source code.
This will miss other interesting files like "readme" and "license".

The other thing that the tool will miss is when source code (or anything) 
exists in a zip or tar file.

The attached patch modifies the scanner to scan all text files under the root 
directory and to warn the user if it finds zip, tar etc files.
The user provides a list of file types that he'd like to be warned about in 
KEYWD_CONFIG - so I'll submit a patch to the sample file too
