Thanks for doing that.
I will now take a closer look at the remaining cases of "Author:",
"Created:", "Modified-by", "Adapted-by" which might need some hand-tuning.
OK. I just noticed that I must have missed a few Adapted-by: jwe lines
and that there are a few special cases where there are statements like
// Arrayfun was originally a .m file written by Bill Denney and Jaroslav
// Hajek. It was converted to C++ by jwe so that it could properly
// handle the nargout = 0 case.
and
// The following routines jcobi, dif, and dfopr are based on the code
// found in Villadsen, J. and M. L. Michelsen, Solution of Differential
// Equation Models by Polynomial Approximation, Prentice-Hall (1978)
// pages 418-420.

// Translated to C++ by jwe.
The simple Adapted-by lines can go, but I think it would be good to keep
the kinds of comments shown above.
