RCS/CVS keywords ($Id$, $Header$, $OpenBSD$ etc)

[Denis Ovsienko <infrastation () yandex ru>]

List,

there are lines in the tcpdump source code that served a purpose with CVS and its keywords expansion feature but don't 
do any more with git. It is around 4 years since the CVS/git migration and perhaps it is the time to remove most of the 
markers.

It seems to be OK to just remove the lines that essentially state "this file is a part of the tcpdump source tree and 
is original to it", for example:

#ifndef lint
static const char rcsid[] _U_ =
    "@(#) $Header: /tcpdump/master/tcpdump/print-ospf.c,v 1.66 2007-10-08 07:53:21 hannes Exp $ (LBL)";
#endif

Please note that no such ID dates any later than end of 2008. That said, I see sense in preserving/converting the IDs 
that indicate the origin/relation of the source code, for example:

/*   $NetBSD: print-ah.c,v 1.4 1996/05/20 00:41:16 fvdl Exp $        */

Would anybody object on this change?
