I just copied the boilerplate copyright. Assign primary ownership to the Glib
team and secondary ownership to me, because I've made modifications to their
code. And please fix src/af/util/win/ut_win_iconv.cpp - all it does is add a
useless stack frame. If the file isn't used (and I don't see how it could be),
cvs remove it or actually make it use the code in the '#if 0' block.
