patch for incorrect FSF snail mail addresses
The glibc sources contain 6,290 incorrect snail-mail
addresses for the FSF. They're incorrect because the FSF
has moved. Rather than fix them, it's better to replace
them with a stable URL, so that we don't have to change them
the next time the FSF moves. This is what the GNU coding
standards recommend these days.
I'm attaching a patch to do this. I generated it partly by
hand, so it'd be nice if it got folded into the trunk before
it got too stale. The patch is large (about 4 MB), so I've
attached it compressed.
The patch contains three parts. The first part is the bulk
of of the patch, and patches only comments. Here's an
example:
