that's a totally different topic and frankly not something that should be
solved by e. as i mentioned before - you'd need to either create a function in
each lib to return such an authors list, or a way of runtime finding the
install prefix and location OF an authors file and then install it. and as has
been mentioned - how far down do you go? if all you do is use elementary -
should you KNOW all the implicit efl libs it uses and list all of them and
their authors too?

it gets silly because you no longer have a nicely compartmentalized set of
projects and their own installs, authors and what not. we're basically being
asked to add a publicity api to all our libs to publicize authors and that is
rare indeed in the software world and we do have higher priority things.
