Hmm, I just took a look through the r300 code, and was surprised to see 
myself listed as the author of several of the files??  I'm pretty sure I 
haven't done any work on that driver...

I think I'd prefer to have a line that says "based on xxx by Keith 
Whitwell", or even just remove my name from the r300_* files and give 
credit instead to the people who've really been working on that code...
