I put up a new repository and I think we're basically done.

I'd like some help to verify that everything is done before we switch
to it and make it publicly available.

Basically, I want people to check out old revisions and diff them
between the two trees.

Things to verify.
1) only a few files should have been removed:
skip_files = set([ 'src/arch/x86/template.hh',
                   'util/setup-web99', 'util/setup-spec',
                   'util/setup-specweb', 'util/greprevs',
                   'util/chgcopyright'])

2) Only whitespace and comment blocks (i.e. copyright blocks) should
change.  I fixed whitespace issues in the tree (leading tabs and
trailing spaces), so there are differences there.  The -b option in
diff is your firend.

3) For MIPS, UM, HP, there are only two copyrights.  Most should be
the new M5 copyright, and stuff in x86 should have the HP no-sale
copyright.

4) Almost all files should have a copyright on them.  Everything in
the tip should, but a few things that didn't have a copyright in past
revisions but did have a copyright added in the future won't have
those copyrights in the past.  This is OK.

5) Since only comment blocks should have changed, everything should
compile and run as it normally would.

6) I have a script that I wrote that tries to automatically remove as
many differences as possible to reduce the diff output, but I'd prefer
if people did it their own way so that we're not all looking at the
same thing.  If you're unwilling to put effort in yourself, I can send
you my scripts.

Please, let's put this to bed.
