Thanks for the appreciation :-)

A word of caution: of the projects above, I have copyright papers in
place only for coreutils and autoconf.  I'm ready to assign the copyright
for the other projects as well (with the hope my forks will be merged
into branches of the official repositories eventually, once Automake-NG
has become stable enough); but at this point I refuse to sign any more
paperwork that is not a blanket assignment, as I find it crazy to have
to sign different papers for each package I give a small-but-not-trivial
code contribution to.
