RE: [dsdp-pmc] pending RTSC CQ's: [CQ 3269] and [CQ 3270]

+1 for Rhino 1.6R6 -- Piggyback is a no-brainer :)

+1 for antlr 3.1.1 -- thanks to your communication with legal,
   other teams have agreed to use 3.1.1 as well so legal review
   of that lib will benefit multiple parties and having it in
   RTSC will be an asset. Thanks for applying for runtime only
   without the tools.

After having looked at the CQ's in a bit more detail I can 
recommend other PMC's to vote +1 as well.

Cheers,
