Patch to dynamically generate AUTHORS, modifications to HACKING

2002-07-11 Thread Andrew Ferrier
Enclosed is a patch which tidies up the output of --credits, and dynamically creates AUTHORS. I've also taken the liberty of making some changes to the HACKING file to bring it a bit up-to-date. Could someone apply it please? I've made a few changes to the root-level Makefile.am, so if whoever ap
