The license seems to be essentially identical to the 3-clause BSD license, so I
think License: BSD is appropriate here.

I had build failures when using parallel make; everything works fine after
disabling parallel make.  Sure takes a while to build, though.

rpmlint warnings:

W: curry invalid-license Freely distributable
and many of these:
W: curry devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib64/curry/files.h

Since this is a compiler, header files are acceptable in the base package.  I
wonder, however, if there are libraries or something that applications compiled
by this compiler will need and if it would be reasonable to split those out to a
separate -libs or -runtime subpackage.  I do see this massive static library: 
19435080 Jun  6 13:23 /usr/lib64/curry/libcurry_g.a that I suppose is simply
linked to every application.

Now, static libs are really strongly disliked in Extras, so I'm going to need to
 ask for some guidance here.
