Pushed.

I used git log to find the first commit this year, then using this list:

$ grep -L 2009 `git diff --stat 1ead0.. | head -n -1 | cut -d\| -s -f1`

I came up with the following patch, also applied.  I didn't touch files
where the author date was last year, or files that didn't have a copyright
to begin with, so the above command still turns out a sizable list of
files.  Some of those files, like tests/test-lib.sh or HACKING, probably
deserve a copyright notice.
