The idea once was to provide a bugtraq:validate property which would
have some regexp expression string against which the entered bug-ID was
tested against. That would help a lot since you could check that the
bug-ID was entered correctly (syntactically).
But then I looked around for regexp and found:
- regexp is not well defined, i.e. there are several 'standards' out
there which don't work always the same
- the boost regexp library would add another 1.5 Megs to TSVN - and
that's just too much for _one_ simple feature.

That's what I was thinking too.

If the manually entered id doesn't match one of the "open tickets list"
received, then a simple warning could be shown (_not_ blocking the commit!).
