Yes, maybe I should add a syntax-check rule that requires that ALL files
have some form of Copyright line or be explicitly listed as exempt.
I'll squash the diff below into my push (more files to add copyrights,
that I found based on your comment), but I'd like to save a syntax check
(and any further file fallout) to a followup, though.

Yes, these all need copyright.

Borderline for two reasons: 1. they are small enough files; upstream
gnulib uses the rule that a file with < 15 lines can generally be
considered trivial enough to not warrant doubling it in size by adding a
copyright blurb. 2. they touch vbox, so if I do anything with them, I'd
rather do it in patch 3/4 of the series anyway, since vbox has the weird
LGPLv2-only restriction. That is, I suspect they deserve the same
copyright blurb as in vbox_V3_1.c, which is NOT our typical blurb that
I'm using in _this_ commit.

Non-trivial in size, worth adding the copyright comment.

Hmm, they do carry a copyright notice, but not at the beginning; and the
license blurb they output is the condensed version more appropriate for
--help output. I'll go ahead and add a non-pod copyright comment up
front as well. And while looking, I noticed that libvirt-guests.sh.in
has no copyright at all, which is definitely wrong (any installed script
file should have a copyright mention, even if only when calling 'script
--version').

Big enough that I'll do it as a separate patch for that entire directory.

The .h should probably call out the same license as the .c, since they
were copied from the same sources; but I'd rather do it in a separate patch.

Indeed. I'll fix that.
