   Spaces after commas?  There's no point trying to squeeze it into 80
   characters, because next year it will overflow anyway.

We only need to say Copyright 2000 in this message.  We shouldn't list
various years (if we were going to do that, we should do it back to
1991 anyhow).  See the description of --version in
    http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_15.html#SEC15
