Controversial...

This is a bit off-topic, but after all the good work that Manolo's been
putting in, I happened to be looking at the various CREDITS files we
have in svn right now, and it rather seems to me that they need a bit of
revision. For example, the fltk-1.1.x CREDITS file refers to
fltk-1.1.5...

In general, though, we currently have two categories: "CORE DEVELOPERS"
and "OTHER CONTRIBUTORS" where "CORE DEVELOPERS" are described as "The
following people do the day-to-day development of FLTK".

Now, looking at that list, I have to say it is just plain wrong - it's
an interesting historical perspective, perhaps, but it does not reflect
the current reality.

We probably need a third category called <something, but what?> to
acknowledge people who have historically made a contribution but are not
active at present (i.e. the majority of the names in the "CORE
DEVELOPERS" list) and look at moving a few names from the "OTHER
CONTRIBUTORS" into the "CORE DEVELOPERS", since they are the people who
really are doing "the day-to-day development of FLTK"

At the same time some of the "OTHER CONTRIBUTORS" might get bumped in to
the <historical contributors> list...

Thoughts?
