> Fix For: 1.0.0

>
> When matching the owner name the input string is taken as a literal.
> However, if the file in which the copyright notice was placed has wrapped the
> text there will be other non-space characters, including leading comment
> characters or formatting characters.
> This change should process the owner name string and replace any contiguous
> whitspace characters with "\W+" In addition any tokens (the things at the
> beginning, ending, and between the whitespace) should be surrounded with "\Q"
> and "\E" to prohibit the token from being parsed.
