Apart from ruling out ranges in copyright declarations, the FSF guidelines
aren't completely clear about current usage.
They recommend: Copyright 1999, 2000 Whoever
gcc largely has: Copyright (C) 1999, 2000 Whoever
and gdb has a bit of a mixture.
Both have instances of: Copyright (C) 1988, 90, 91, 92 Whoever
Aside from eliminating ranges, should 2-digit year forms be expanded?
Should 3rd party copyright statements have ranges expanded?
(My script currently targets Andrew & FSF)

Does changing a Copyright statement require adding in 2000?
(I know this should wait for a release, but ...)
Assuming my assignments are Ok, I'll send in patches.
