	IOW, with the patch MIMEd?

	… Not to mention that there was no mw.el file to begin with.

	Nevertheless, I’ve fixed a somewhat inaccurate wording in one of
	the commit messages; combined the “version bump” change with the
	addition of copyright notice to README and the “yearly update”
	of the already present copyright notices; and get rid of a
	misleading README change (which, among other things, documented
	a change in behavior not yet actually made at that time.)

	Now I’ve found some flaws in the topmost commit on the new
	exp-x54e65706 branch, and intend to amend it shortly…
