Changing top level files and include/ files over to GPLv3

Hi Guys,

I would like to apply a patch to change the files that are shared by
the GCC, GDB and BINUTILS projects over to version 3 of the GNU
General Public License. (ie all the top level files except for
those that have a distinct project that owns them, plus all of the
files in the include/ directory tree).

Are there any objections to me doing this, or any reasons for
holding off for a while ? In particular I was planning to change
the text inside the toplevel COPYING file to that of the GPLv3, so
that would mean that any file currently released under GPLv2 and
saying "see the file COPYING" would now be out of sync.

Cheers
Nick
