I had a quick look. The script used to do the copyright update
does not handle certain files:

*.s
*.f
*.f90
*.igen
*.ac
*.texi
*.texinfo
*.tex
*.defs
*.1

(total number of files involved: 62 :-().

These files need to be updated by hand, and the manual needs to
be updated to mention that. I'll try to get to it sometime today.
Thanks to Tom for noticing this.

BTW: This is not all. The content of the texi files also have
copyright notices in them. The problem is that they are sometimes
duplicated, I suspect due to different medium requiring different
layout. Is there a way to simplify this?
