Actually, given that you have to deal with a file, some of the people  
who have edited it being English speakers who might have primitive  
OSes or editing tools, the proper way is probably to strip the e-mail  
addresses, strip accents off the letters (or perhaps map umlauted  
vowels in German to <vowel>e), and *then* "uniq -c". :-)

(AUTHORS is now a file with a UTF-8 Byte Order Mark at the beginning:

	$ file AUTHORS
	AUTHORS: UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) English text

so all new entries can, and probably should, get the appropriate  
accents on letters, even for languages that would use ISO Latin-n for  
n > 1.)

In any case:

Probably, but a little extra Googling might be worth doing first.

In one of the "different e-mails" case (Markus Seehofer), the two  
addresses are for the same company - the format of the names is  
different, but that might be "official e-mail format" vs. "login  
name".  In another case (Martijn Schipper), one's for Intersil and  
one's for GlobespanVirata, but Intersil sold the PRISM chipset product  
lines to GlobespanVirata (and then to Conexant, which is in the "past  
jobs" list for the Linkedin page for a Martijn Schipper), so it's  
presumably the same person.

So I've checked in a change to merge the entries for everybody but  
Joost Yervante Damad, Thomas Dreibholz, and Thomas Palmer; those are  
*probably* the same people, but I'll poke around a bit with Google  
first.
