Incorrect format of copyright statement for Fortran manuals

Incorrect format of copyright statement for Fortran manuals

It has been reported via the FSF that 'gfortran.info' is copyrighted by 
the FSF '1999-2008', although it should be under the form '1999, 2000, 
[other years], 2008'.

Indeed the GNU Coding Standards say the following:

  Do not abbreviate the year list using a range; for instance, do not 
  write Β‘1996--1998Β’; instead, write Β‘1996, 1997, 1998Β’. 

And a quick grep finds the following:

  gfac-internals.texi:@set copyrights-gfortran 2007-2010
  gfc-internals.texi:Copyright @copyright{} @value{copyrights-gfortran} Free Software Foundation,
  gfortran.texi:@set copyrights-gfortran 1999-2010
  gfortran.texi:Copyright @copyright{} @value{copyrights-gfortran} Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Would you mind changing this accordingly?

Gerald

Thanks, Tobias!

Any chance you could make the similar change for GCC 4.5 as our active
release as well?
