I think Andy's probably the best one to comment, but I think 5 or 6 people
have some sort of attribution in the current code - I think that there are a
few more who've done stuff recently, but I've not been keeping track (I only
know who I created email aliases for :-))

I have a few more to add to the list:
GNU awk, GDB, GCC-2.5.8, diffutils, patch, bash, tcsh, shellutils,
textutils. find (I've nearly got this one done), joe and cpio.

I'd really like to see a non-intel port. I thought I was going to get
chence to do one a couple of months back, but the project fell through.
