Waitaminnit, shouldn't people get more credit for removing lines of
code than they do for adding lines of code ;)

In any case, the "Contributors" list should not be extracted from
the CVS logs because
1) a lot of massive changes have been done by perl scripts, and
   obviously these changes shouldn't count (or should be counted
   separately)
2) many contributors don't have CVS access, they have other people
   contribute for them (for example Bill added vtkImageReslice,
   though I was the creator of that class)

It would be sufficient for me if just the creator of each class was
listed, and perhaps one other person who has made a significant
contribution (i.e. if things were put back the way they were).
The CVS logs are available if anyone needs details about who did what.
