The previous commit v8.23-124-g7b1ca5f made the above syntax-check rule
fail, because that took the whole content of THANKS.in for comparison.
* cfg.mk (sc_THANKS_in_duplicates): Strip off the header (all before the
first empty line) and the footer (all past the next empty line) from
'THANKS.in' for the check.
