Hi!

Are you the kind of person who straightens the placemats while you're
waiting for your food?  Do crooked pictures in public places _really_
bother you?  Did you ever try to actually count all the beans in
one of those "guess the number of beans in this jar and win a free
round-trip ticket to Cincinnati!" contests?

If your answer was "yes" to any of those, then this job is for you!

I'd be really really happy if someone could go through our
_entire_ source tree and search for attributions which aren't
reflected in the FreeBSD.CONTRIB file.  I have a strong suspicion
that a number of authors have contributed code in the last 6 months
but not made the acknowledgements list, and that's just kind of rude.
We should give credit where it's due and if this means that someone,
somewhere out there, must pay the price of laboriously searching through
all of our sources to painstakingly seek out and collate all such
information, then I'm willing for them to pay it..

I think I phrased that rather neatly, myself. :-)
