Copyright years (was Re: help/version patches)

A quick note about changing Copyright years like this... don't do it! The
two are *not* equivalent.
See http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_8.html on the GNU website for more
information, but basically if a new release of Cygwin was tagged in CVS in
any of those years, it should appear as a separate year in a comma separated
list. Ranges are only allowed if development was carried out in that range
of years, but a version was completed for release only in the final year of
the range.

Chris
