Everyone

I committed my major cleanup of the formatting to CREDITS.  I will
work on duplicates and the credits spread though out the files soon.
For the email addresses I think that the simple "name at domain dot
tld" should work for anti spam measures.  I would love some feedback
on this.  Keep in mind that there are email addresses inline in many
files.  I discovered these addresses because Doxygen thought it was a
markup command.

BTW: GIT +1
