Also note:
* The manuals have overall copyright dates for the whole manuals in
gcc.texi and g77.texi, which it may be necessary to update when changing
other parts of the manual.
* --version output from some programs includes a copyright year, which
according to the GNU coding standards should be the most recent copyright
year only.
