it is not rubbish, it is the hisorically correct version. Its not the first
time we are trying to preserve the history of code. After all that is why
we are using svn used cvs and will one day use git, to keep track of
history, we could just use a ftp server otherwise and overwrite the
previous versions ...

the headers are rather low priority, i like to reply to our gsoc students
first, who are working against a deadline.

Anyway ive changed the license, I hope you like the new, you where not
particularely clear in your "sigh" comment so i tried my best and picked
one at random.

I commited code with history. The first revission had some known issues that
where cleaned up immedeatly.
I did mention some rather concrete problems in respect to vladimirs patches
and did review many iteratons before i flamed him.

Here with pca.c/h i posted the files and after ramiro the next days said he
could use them, i commited and then cleaned them up. Where where you all
the time, you did not consider reviewing the patches it seems, but are
rather quick at adding meaningless single word replies to commits of
patches that HAD been posted previously.
