Volunteer needed (updating AUTHORS etc.)

[Soeren Sandmann]

One of the remaining tasks before we can get X7.0RC1 released is making 
sure that files
such as AUTHORS, ChangeLog, INSTALL, NEWS, README etc., are all up-to-date.

The task basically amounts to: for each module in the modular tree, find 
out by looking
at the corresponding part of the monolithic tree:

    - Who wrote the code originally? List those people and companies in 
the AUTHORS file

    - Who owns the copyright, and what license is the code under? Put 
this information
      in the COPYING file.

    - Is there a README (or similar) file? If so, symlink it over by 
editing the
      util/modular/symlink.sh scrip. If not, write a brief README file 
about what the
      module does.

    - Is there a ChangeLog that applies to the module specifically? If 
so, make sure it is
      symlinked over.

This is a fairly big job, but quite important to get done. If anybody is 
interested in doing
this (or doing this for a subset of the modules), please follow up here.


Thanks,
