Re: [Fink-devel] Multiline .info fields: use heredoc instead of RFC-822

Why warn at runtime? It doesn't hurt users. It is no big deal, just 
more SPAM. Put the warning in the validation.pm.

Because that's where Max put the warning.

Because DRM said it was okay.

Because at some point these files may start being parsed incorrectly,
so it actually could hurt the users.

Because the only way a user would have such a problem and see such a
warning was if he had his own local .info files (and who bothers to
validate those, so this forces the issue) or was somehow running this
cutting-edge fink but was morally opposed to running selfupdate.
