I disagree with this part of the patch.  A user that builds the unmodified
6.8 tarball in 2008 (assuming, of course, that you release 6.8 in 2007)
will get a different groups than intended; whereas version-etc.c has a
hard-coded year that will not change once you cut the tarball, even if the
tarball is compiled next year.  I was serious when I suggested grepping
for the most recent year in the ChangeLog.
