I like this, but it should only happen when one would live in 1999
(that's why I added it unconditionally), see below. I'm affraid we need
the 1999 to be configured, for legal reasons (though I don't claim to be
an expert on this case, just judging from the comments from echangelog).

we should add a case like

# Copyright 2010-2011 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed ...

echangelog would have rewritten it to 1999-2011, because of legal
reasons IIRC.

This comment makes little to no more sense, since the patterns taken
from echangelog have changed considerably now :)
