Copyright year is updated and patch committed.

BTW.  I ever thought of adding a testcase to verify this, but found that 
gdb will timeout while waiting for the tui output under expect's control.
Is there any method to work around this?  More generally, is there any way 
to test TUI interface using expect? (I don't find any tests for TUI under 
the testsuite directory.)  Maybe it is desirable for TUI to receive enough 
test just like what MI had done. 

Just my two cents anyway.  Comments are highly appreciated.
