But people just DO NOT read these things! They just see "This program was
supported by... BLAH BLAH... BLAH..." :)
Putting in flags anywhere is not necessary because it should go
into file like SPONSORS in /usr/share/doc/<package>. People that
are interrested can easily find it. People that do not care about
it, will not see it.
BTW, putting in these messages reminds me of those old DOS programs that
nagged everyone about seding $5 to the author...
