Hi,

the attached patch adds a --copyright-split option (and a config variable) to
display copyright holders one per line. That is much more readable IMHO, and
it makes it possible to do stuff like 'sort -u' with the output.

For example, the difference is something like this:

Without that option:

../libwnck/selector.c: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
  [Copyright: 2000 Helix Code, Inc / 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc / 2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc / 2005-2007 Vincent Untz]

With it:

libwnck/selector.c: LGPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
  [Copyright: 2000 Helix Code, Inc]
  [Copyright: 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc]
  [Copyright: 2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc]
  [Copyright: 2005-2007 Vincent Untz]

Maybe it should even be the default behaviour and we should add a
 --copyright-join option to return to the old one, but I'd be happy
if this patch is applied.

Cheers,
Emilio
