Sorry, no, the initial authors of the file were:

  * Copyright (C) 2003,2004  Krzysztof Benedyczak ([email protected])
  *                          Michal Wronski ([email protected])
  *


I did cleanup & merge support and probably many small changes.

But from what I remember, the majority of the code is from Krzysztof and 
Michal.
