Mark just pointed out to me that the copyright year in the startup
message printed by GDB is still 2004. I think the year should be updated
at the begining of the year, at the same time as we rotate the ChangeLog.
Agreed? (in which case we should insert a section with the procedure to
follow at the start of each year)
This is unbelievably picayune, but technically the copyright year
shouldn't actually get changed until somebody changes something in
a source file (rotating the changelog wouldn't count). Empirically
this almost always happens within the first few days of the year,
so the window to notice the discrepancy is pretty small.
