Good idea.

That made me look for all of them, not just the few
I thought of on the spot.  And running the new check
exposed two more:

    $ make sc_prohibit_cvs_keyword
    docs/Goals:29:$Date$
    python/TODO:8:$Date$
    Makefile.maint: do not use CVS keyword expansion
    make: *** [sc_prohibit_cvs_keyword] Error 1

So this adds the new check and removes the violations:

Subject: [PATCH] syntax-check: enforce the no-cvs-keywords prohibition

* Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_cvs_keyword): New rule.
Suggested by Daniel Veillard.
The new test exposed two uses of $Date$.
* docs/Goals: Don't use $Date$.
* python/TODO: Likewise.
