suggestion: add $Id$ in files

While trying to compare file versions, I noticed that some files have
$Id$ keywords but they obviously come from CVS:
networking/ping6.c: * $Id: ping6.c,v 1.6 2004/03/15 08:28:48 andersen Exp $

Right now, only 15 files in the busybox tree have an $Id$, none of them 
up-to-date.

I think it would be a good thing to add the keyword in all files or else
remove it entirely. It should be fairly easy to add this automatically
since all files have a standardized header.
Then it would just need to be turned on:
egrep -rl '\$Id:' * | grep -v /.svn/ | xargs svn propset svn:keywords Id
svn commit
