Re: [rfc] Cleanup restore.exp

That would be cool, if you want to do that.

But before you touch restore.c, someone has to add a copyright notice to
it.  restore.c was written by Jim Blandy of Cygnus in 1998 so there's no
doubt that FSF owns it.  It was modified in 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2003
(plus it will be modified in 2004 by adding the notice).

For the record, I got this information from ChangeLog, the cvs
repository, and my set of historical gdb releases.

When adding a copyright notice, one has to test the change, because
some *.exp scripts depend on line numbers in their *.c files.
It appears that restore.exp does not have this problem.

It's enough work that I do "add copyright notice" as a separate patch,
especially because I like to separate legally significant changes
from technically significant changes.

Would you like to add a copyright notice to restore.c, or would you like
me to do it?

Feel free.
