Otherwise, we would partly write files with uninitialized data, such as the
padding bytes in a BMP, or the palette if not specified explicitly. This
mostly fixes corresponding valgrind warnings, but also makes sure we obtain
the same BMP files everytime we store the same StdSurface8 object, bit-by-bit.
As discussed in http://forum.openclonk.org/topic_show.pl?tid=2917, I
have merged all copyright notices into a single file and referenced that
merged file from each source file.
For the updated source files, the timeline has been split into three
parts:
1. Pre-RWD code (before 2001)
2. RWD code (2001 through 2009)
3. OpenClonk code (2009 and later)
All pre-RWD copyright notices have been left intact, as have RWD-era
copyright notices where the file did not have a RedWolf design copyright
notice but only individual author ones. All copyright notices of the
OpenClonk era have been replaced by a single notice ranging from the
first recorded year to the current year (2013). Mape code did not get a
OpenClonk Team copyright notice because it is somewhat separate from the
main OpenClonk codebase and has only been touched by Armin Burgmeier.
This mostly simplifies things, since most other places use an 32 bit
integer to store colors, but might even improve performance through better
cache locality.
