My test suite has mostly been coreutils and bison (plus a few handwritten
tests for quicker testing). I'll be glad to put something more formal
together. I'm a little busy at the moment, and I have to study how gnulib
does testing, but I'll try to post soon.
Also, I posted some major changes to update-copyright here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-07/msg00135.html
I'll wait for a response to that so I know what to test.

That doesn't contain an FSF copyright, so an update-copyright makefile
target should probably just exclude it. However, it shouldn't be tough to
parameterize update-copyright to support other copyright holders if that's
what we want.
