4Original authors of amd were the Berkeley team and especially Jan-Simon
5Pendry.  Since then many people have contributed patches.

7This file lists the ones who contributed major code changes, in no
8particular order, and I thank them all.  This is of course not to diminish
9the smaller contributes of the many others.  Thank you all.
