Sorry, I thought "lint" was used as a generic term for C static analysis 
programs (named after the original "lint" program, obviously).  The most 
commonly used commercial static analysis tool is Gimpel's "PC-Lint" for 
Windows or "FlexeLint" for Linux (and other systems).

I'll try to remember not to use the term generically.
