For what it's worth, I intentionally added the "Authors" block above
when I split this code out of brw_vs.c into a new file, in an attempt
to retain credit.  "git log brw_vue_map.c" only shows my commit of the
new file, with no obvious attribution for Paul/Chris/Eric.

However, you can find their authorship by doing git blame brw_vs.c on
the commit prior to mine...which is probably sufficient...but kind of
a pain.
