Initial Description
An example solution for the 'insert-checkin-template exercise listed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41522/tips-for-learning-elisp/59589#59589 It generates a "pretty" check in notice to be emailed, and also generates a line you can cut/paste into a shell to check in a list of files. Note, it relies on a previous example listed here: http://snipplr.com/view/18683/stringreplace/
