FYI, to ``really fix'' the copyright notes I was expecting to spend
spend several hours (understatement) going over the public (sources) and
older (Red Hat internal) CVS repositories to figure out exactly what
each file should contain.

If you can find out what the correct format is and do a preliminary
update that would make my life much easier.

PS: A copyright notice isn't part of a body of work - I'm pretty sure of
that one.
