Good! I'll do it within one week.
A few questions:
1) Currently, we have a Copyright notice both at the top and bottom
of each NEWS file. Isn't the notice at the end sufficient,
as we already says this at the top:
See the end for copying conditions.
or we could make it clearer by writing:
See the end for copyright and copying conditions.
2) Years in those "top" and "bottom" copyright notices are
out of sync in at least some of those files. I suppose that
I shall at least merge the two lists to get one consistent list
when they are out of sync.
3) Shall I add 2006 to all of the NEWS.* files, even if we didn't
change them (except for chaning the name)?
