The relevant Emacs command already does that--it searches for the telltale Copyright strings and updates them, it doesn't just blindly add a Copyright notice where none is present. But that doesn't solve the problem that Daniel pointed out, since the generated files also have the Copyright notice. See the various configure scripts, for example. We don't want to update those, but instead should regenerate them whenever their source files get updated with another year's copyright.
