The sole purpose of 5.1.0.x (1) was to fix copyright problems in the 
documentation.  Turns out it it still contains problems (I didn't pull a 
change into the branch and that wasn't noticed).  5.1.0.2 would be the same.

Yes it doesn't help the normal user that is more worried about a working 
GDB.
