[PATCH] merge libstdc++ contributors into doc/contrib.texi

[Janis Johnson <janis187 at us dot ibm dot com>]

This patch merges the list of libstdc++ contributors from
gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/thanks.html into the GCC contributors list that is
included in the GCC manuals and the GCC internals manual.  It also has
some new entries that Phil Edwards sent to me.  I've combined the
descriptions for people who were in both lists, and added wording when
it wasn't clear that work was done on libstdc++.  Let me know if I got
something wrong, missed something, or if you'd like to change your entry.
I plan to check this in on Monday to the mainline and the 3.2 branch.

Tested, of course, with "make info" and "make dvi".

2002-11-11  Janis Johnson  <janis187@us.ibm.com>

	* doc/contrib.texi: Merge in the list from the libstdc++ web pages.
