Zimbu awards presented

These are the winners of the Zimbu awards:

        Adriaan de Groot: 444 euro award for the best contribution to
                          the A-A-P project
               Rui Lopes: 222 euro award for the most useful patch for
                          Aap or Agide
             Joerg Beyer: 111 euro award for the brightest idea for the
                          A-A-P project

And of course many thanks to the people who helped improving Aap but
didn't get an award.

Adriaan de Groot has tracked down a large number of problems and
provided solutions. He changed the documentation from SGML to XML and
wrote an explanation about how to get the required tools for XML.
Adriaan added support for "libtool", helped implementing language
modules and improved the robustness of several commands.

Rui Lopes made the FreeBSD port of Aap and supplied patches to make
installing Aap work a lot better. The quality of his patches was
remarkably high. By making the FreeBSD port he also increased the
visibility of the A-A-P project.

Joerg Beyer has supplied several solutions for tricky problems in the
Aap implementation. The scope support was based on his ideas, he made a
first implementation for the automatic configuration support and
improved the setup for testing. Strangely not much of his code ended up
in Aap, but his suggestions were indispensible.

Since Adriaan de Groot works not far from where Bram Moolenaar lives, at
the University of Nijmegen, the Zimbu award could be handed to him
personally.
