  1. New copyright program

    David Fetter <david@fetter.org> — 2011-08-12T20:30:30Z

    Folks,
    
    I noticed that src/tools/copyright looks like it can only be run on
    Bruce's machine, so this translation to Perl is intended:
    
    1.  To make the script idempotent, which allows its safe use in
    automated tools that might run it many times.
    
    2.  To get the script to run on any machine a PostgreSQL developer
    would be using, as Perl is already required.
    
    3.  To make the script more efficient.  As the copyright notice we
    need to munge only appears once per file, it stops once it has made a
    substitution.
    
    Please find attached a patch implementing same.
    
    Cheers,
    David.
