[lsb-discuss] New appchk ready for evaluation

I think we should release this binary as non-lsb. That way user can run
it on any platform without worrying about the right runtime loader being
there... Few times, I have had to tell them about creating a soft link
as the platform was not lsb compliant.

Thanks,
