Hey, I just said I'm not going to post here, but I think I'll need something to back up the radiation pressure claim.  Everything I've read suggests it would destroy life, but not obliterate the planet itself.  It takes an unbelievable amount of energy to destroy a planet--energy that is quickly diffusing in three dimensions over the lightyears.  But I'm happy to be proven wrong.  Either way, like you said, they would have 100 years to figure something out.
