Sorry about the absence (ELCE/Vacation/Thanksgiving had me out for a while).

This patch needs a rebase and a minor bit of whitespace work. I've
done some work to make it apply to the current master head and tested
it out and it does improve the utility of INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE quite a
bit.

I was able to not-create an image with:

INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE += "*BSD*"
INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE += "*GPL*"

Obviously this would fail, however this does end up excluding all
*GPL* and *BSD* licenses.

If it's ok with you, Andy, I'll just submit my modifications to your patch.
