     1. Do we have to add `2006' also for a file which hasn't been edited in 2006 ?     

Yes.  All files should list 2006.

     2. If a file has 2001 copyright year, how is 2006 copyright year added ?
	 Is it like 2001, 2006 or 2001-2006 or 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 ?

All the files have 2005, now, don't they?
Do you see any file which lacks 2005 in its copyright notice?

So you just have to add 2006 at the end.

There should be a function copyright-update which does this job.
