Personally I prefer an AUTHORS.txt file which we can install and display
within a scroll window if necessary; that way an 'about' dialog can refer
to the file in the install path, on the web, and optionally also display its
contents. If the file is not found in the INSTALL path at least the user
can check out the web link to the file.
