copyright info in the parrot repository has not been maintained. this
should be remedied.

through discussions with TPF and Chip, the following strategy has been approved:

~ the official copyright text will reside in the README file in the
parrot root dir. [DONE]
~ the official text will be associated to each file in the parrot
repository via a new svn keyword, 'Copyright'
~ copyright text in each text file will be replaced with the new
keyword for expansion
~ committers will be instructed on setting their environments to
understand this custom keyword
~ tests will be designed to detect differences between the official
copyright text (README) and text files in the repository, with an
exception list for files that do not contain the copyright message
~ these tests will be run before every release
~ a script will be made available to add or otherwise maintain the
copyright info in all files

this will be implemented over the coming days and weeks.
