The GPL Howto and the maintain manual both suggest use of COPYING.LESSER
in a project for software licensed under the LGPL, while the GNU Coding
Standards states in section 7.3 that it should be in a file called
COPYING.LIB. Suggest changing this to COPYING.LESSER in line with the
other documents and to reflect the name change from GNU Library GPL to
GNU Lesser GPL. (Very small ☺) patch attached.
