I have said this several times and will say again:
if we are already changing gnoem_about_new syntax, please change it to
take a struct { char *name; char *url; char *email;}* as the author,
documenter, and translator lists. I don't know what the current plan is,
but I assume soemthing like encoding the email address in the name
(between <> characters) or making every second item in the authors list be
the URL associated with the previous author, but I think these are all bad
hacks and not as straightforward as passing dedicated structs.
