Copyright clean-up

The release of GPLv3 is probably a good opportunity for looking at the
copyright situation in AUCTeX.  I'd like to start with cleaning up some
low-hanging fruits in the style directory.  So, I guess there are
copyright assignments from Mark Trettin and Reiner Steib?  If this is
the case I can change the copyright notices in file headers mentioning
them to mention the FSF instead.

There are quite some files authored by Carsten Dominik.  Have his papers
arrived in the meantime?

Please do so.

No.  Carsten, any word on this?

CCed, since I am not sure if he is reading auctex-devel.

Also, I compiled a list of all problematic files from the style
directory:

+------------+------------+--------+----------------+--------------+
|File        |Coypright   |Licence |Author          |Remarks       |
|            |notice      |        |                |              |

For now I only want to fix the bug related to the search for warnings,
so I am seeking a simple fix I can implement without too much effort.
Of course it should be as clean as possible within this constraint.
Simply yanking the linebreaks from the decoded output will likely do
for now.

pstricks.el

Hi,

attached is an updated version of pstricks.el.

So please have a look. It would be nice if someone could do some testing
and report back.

I added some self parsing as described in the docs and added some
elements to an earlier defined list. Is it possible to save the list 
to the <currently-edited-tex-file>.el?

I have some additional style files for packages provided by pstricks or
contributions to pstricks (like pst-node, ... ) which I am going post
later on.

Bye,
Holger

Okay, I checked in the fix.  Warnings are found now.  But at the price
of continuation lines.

And only if the warnings don't contain multibyte utf-8 characters...
But that's quite hard to fix.

Any news on the copyright situation for the file?
