Thanks, Daniel.

Eli,

I propose the following addition to gdbint.texi:

2008-01-02 Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>

* gdbint.texinfo (Start of New Year Procedure): Add item
describing how to update the source and documentation copyright
notices.

Tested on x86-linux, by rebuilding the HTML documentation.
OK to apply?

Thanks,

Joel
