AUTHORS update

[Eric Blake]

Proposed is a patch to update AUTHORS according to 
fencepost.gnu.org's /gd/gnuorg/copyright.list.  This patch proposes removing
names from THANKS that also appear in AUTHORS, as that seemed to already be the 
case for several contributors; let me know if you would rather see people with 
copyright assignments listed in both files.  If I don't hear anything in a week 
or two, I will go ahead and commit this as is.

This also points out that some recent patches are now clear to be applied 
(sorry for not noticing it in March, when the assignment went through, since I 
was not notified); I hope to get to that soon if Gary or anyone else does not 
beat me:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/m4-patches/2006-01/msg00000.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/m4-patches/2006-01/msg00001.html

Due to the number of email addresses in the patch, I post-processed it with
sed 's,\@,<AT>,g'
before attaching it here.  Of course, that means you will need to process this 
message with
sed 's,<AT>,\@,g'
before it will apply as a patch.
