Sorry, no. Not unless we are removing all the other "personalized"
comments, of which we have quite a few. Some examples:
/* Rewritten for clarity and GC protection by rms in Feb 94. */
/* There is no way to specify the before_dot and after_dot
operators. rms says this is ok. --karl */
/* rms, 2003-01-03: I think I have fixed this bug. */
Personally, I don't like to remove other people's credit, even when
expressed in this form. But if we are going to delete all such
comments, I won't object.

IMHO as long as the personalized comments have some useful information.
/* Demacs 1.1.1 91/10/16 HIRANO Satoshi */ is kind of content free.
[I run into those by chance when searching for -Demacs...]

Stefan and Yidong, it's your call. I'll go along with any decision
you make.
