Bug#100505: algorithmic environment does not allow a line with only a comment

["C.M. Connelly" <c@eskimo.com>]

I just wanted to note here that algorithmic.sty and algorithm.sty
probably won't be in the next release of teTeX, unless Peter
Williams suddenly makes an appearance and relicenses them with a
DFSG-free license.  (At the moment, these packages cannot even be
included in a non-free tetex-nonfree package, because there is
*no* permission granted for distribution.)

I'm out of ideas on contacting Peter -- I've tried every address I
could find for him on the web and Usenet, as well as contacting
someone at the University of Sydney (where he was a grad student)
with no results.  If I were in Australia, I would try telephoning
some of these places, but that's not practical from Southern
California.

If anyone else wants to try, however, please do!

 Man cannot be civilised, or be kept civilised by what he does in his
