I agree.  I wish there was a better way to handle contributions that don't
make it into the official distribution but are useful none the less.  I was
thinking that some kind of contribution database, similar to the bug
database, could be useful in this regard, but I don't know.  And it would be
something else to maintain.

I missed that.  I saw that the java file had the correct header, but did not
check the others as closely.  My bad.

Jay, just resubmit it to this list with the appropriate headers in all the
files.

thanks for the catch, Ceki,
