	I tell you what; if the mad lawyers insist on wasting everyone's
bandwidth, time and hair then perhaps, if you wrote a nice foolproof emacs
macro that chopped the standard blurb out of the top of the file and
converted it into something small and readable, as we have now perhaps I
could be convinced :-)

	Alternatively if we were autoconf genii we could write a
perl-script that would do all this wastage before we released each time so
no-one needed to see it...

	I'll get onto that now.
