FYI, updated to latest from gnulib, and copyright years

"make distcheck" now passes.

I also had to make the following change to avoid this build warn/failure:

    CC       debug.lo
  debug.c: In function 'ped_debug':
  debug.c:66:17: error: function might be possible candidate for 'gnu_printf'\
    format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]
                   vsnprintf ( msg_concat, 8192, msg, arg_list );
                   ^
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  exception.c: In function 'ped_exception_throw':

Subject: [PATCH] maint: avoid new warning/error with gcc-4.8.0 20130105

* configure.ac (WERROR_CFLAGS): Disable -Wsuggest-attribute=format.
It was suggesting to apply the gnu_printf attribute to vsnprintf.
