There are also the CPP manuals (cpp.texi, cppinternals.texi) (maintainers
CC:ed), and the permission notices included in manpages generated from
cpp.texi, gcov.texi and invoke.texi.
Hopefully it shouldn't be necessary to include the full GFDL in each
generated manpage? (GNU binutils no longer does so, though at one point
it did.)

This file doesn't include such a section. Surely this is only applicable
to files that do include such a section?
