Please have only their hair cut. ;-)

The full comment is like this:

   ;;; Compiled by user@host on Fri Mar  8 08:59:18 2013
   ;;; from file /path/to/simple.el
   ;;; in Emacs version 24.3
   ;;; with all optimizations.

Gentoo has a script called emacs-updater [1] that uses the version
information from the third line, by matching the following regexp:
[Ee]macs version \([0-9].*\)

It would be nice if this part of the comment could be preserved.
