     I think we should consider generating ???AUTHORS??? upon ???make dist?=

     eventually, ideally with a list of those who contributed to the last
     release, and then the list of all those who contributed at all.  Any

The measure of contribution of any one individual cannot be determined by
any parametric algorithm. =20

Attempting to generate such a list might lead to people makeing trivial or
frivolous contributions in order to get their name in the list.
