I've made the script handle the above case (again, note the lack of
commas separating the filenames)...

All that remains for this problem (of dates being incorrectly dropped
from the mipsread.c copyright notice) is to fix the dates on Peter's
entries in the current ChangeLog file.

BTW, I've also addressed the problem of the testsuite files not
being examined. I am now seeing a much larger patch. I'm going to
proofread it a bit more carefully before sending out a new patch.
(Though I will definitely appreciate it if Michael C. (and others)
look for problems when I do send the new patch out.)
