This will get us back into the nuisance we had with COPYING and
copying.c, due to the file-name letter-case nuisance on DOS/Windows
file systems. See this ChangeLog entry:
2000-04-03 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
* Makefile.in (copying.c): Depend on copying.txt, not COPYING.
(copying.txt): New target, a link to COPYING.
Can we have a different name, please? Why can't we have version.c in
the first place, without any intermediaries? COPYING was an external
file, but VERSION is not, I believe.
