BTW, I'm not sure that it is appropriate to assert Copyright through years 
in which the source file did not change.  It is certainly easier to 
maintain a simple contiguous range; however, it doesn't seem to be the 
case that projects do a massive Copyright++ on Jan. 1 of each year, which 
suggests that it should only be asserted for the years in which the source 
file is created or modified (in a non-trivial way?).
