[RFA] Copyright year in startup message ...

[RFA] Copyright year in startup message ...

[Joel Brobecker]

Mark just pointed out to me that the copyright year in the startup
message printed by GDB is still 2004. I think the year should be updated
at the begining of the year, at the same time as we rotate the ChangeLog.
Agreed? (in which case we should insert a section with the procedure to
follow at the start of each year)

2005-11-22  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com>

        * top.c (print_gdb_version): Update copyright year.

OK for mainline and branch?

Thanks,

Humpf, too many things at the same time. Attached this time, and checked
in. Thanks!

I will followup with a patch to gdbint shortly.

This is unbelievably picayune, but technically the copyright year
shouldn't actually get changed until somebody changes something in
a source file (rotating the changelog wouldn't count). Empirically
this almost always happens within the first few days of the year,
so the window to notice the discrepancy is pretty small.
