The 'support' in jcheck is for ignoring them. That is, jcheck will look
at the bug ids, recognize them as bug ids, but perform no further
processing on them. It will check that the bug line is of the style:

61234567: Summary
or
FOOBAR42-1234: Summary

But will not perform duplicate bug id detection or anything of that
sort. Before this patch, jcheck would reject the changeset if presented
with JIRA-style FOOBAR-1234 bugs.

Technically, jcheck can (as of last week) read and parse JIRA-style bug
ids, but I figured allowing jcheck to perform duplicate detection with
multiple bug systems in play might be too risky and result in odd
failures. So I think a better choice is to 'ignore' them.

Thanks,
