+    <li>Copyright and contact changes
+    - Remove Yawar's e-mail adress from the author's listing (on his request)
+    - Remove my e-mail address from the author's listing

+    This is a follow up on r22373 which fixes the help file locations

+    versions should properly find the help files.
