My understanding was that the copyright years in the files need to
include year X iff a release of the codebase is done in year X,
independently of whether the file was actually modified or not. From
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html:
> To update the list of year numbers, add each year in which you have
> made nontrivial changes to the package. (Here we assume you're
> using a publicly accessible revision control server, so that every
> revision installed is also immediately and automatically
> published.) When you add the new year, it is not required to keep
> track which files have seen significant changes in the new year and
> which have not. It is recommended and simpler to add the new year
> to all files in the package, and be done with it for the rest of
> the year.

Other than that, the patch is OK. To satisfy my curiosity: I
sometimes used buildN() instead of fold_buildN() when I know that the
expression can't be simplified, to avoid extra burden on the middle-
end, was that wrong or is it just that the benefit is too small to
notice?
