I know, but I can't reasonably change this as it's a declaration of
authorship and Jörg was very particular about those being immutable.
I'll respect his wishes and leave wherever he declared his own
authorship exactly as it is, same spelling and all that.

I mean, you wouldn't want anybody to make a fork of msgfmt() and
change the "written by Ulrich Drepper" bit either, would you?
