[Gnash-dev] FSF copyright notices slightly off

I've noticed two files recently checked in, which have slightly off
FSF copyright/license notices.  Indeed, many of the files in Gnash are
that way.  I think the errors are just propagated from file to file.
I've been fixing them up as I go..

Here's how our copyright/license notices aren't best:

  *  Each file doesn't start with a one-line comment describing it.
  *  There's no // blank line before "You should have received a copy...".
  *  There's often odd whitespace afterward, before the CVS tag.     

Making it look good is easy, it just takes a moment of attention.

The GNU coding standards are documented here:

  http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Copyright-Notices
  http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#License-Notices

When you edit a file for other reasons, please glance at the top of
the file as your text editor comes up, and fix these minor errors
whenever you see them.  Thanks!

        John
