If a source file has the right copyright line for the last year it was checked
into CVS, then it is unchanged and the file time will be unchanged. Source

No worries. ;)

Basically I made the change, so that src/copyrite.cc behaves the same way as
the src/copyright.pl script. See DJ's reply to my question - the mail is
entitled "Re: Updating the copyright on sources" dated Thu, 17 Oct 2002
