> Updated version info and date in document headers.

I think we should remove the version/date info completely from all
these documents.

The reason is that it is quite misleading. For example:


 !==
 !== Faxing.txt for Samba release 2.1.0prealpha 981204
 !==
 Contributor:    Gerhard Zuber <zuber at berlin.snafu.de>
 Date:			August 5th 1997.
 Status:			Current

it is not current and it is certainly not uptodate for Samba release
2.1. Having "status: current" in a document is silly, what does
current mean???

If we really have to have these headers then the only useful things to
go in them would be:

- possibly a title
- author/contributor of the document 
- date it was last updated

and we certainly shouldn't automatically update the header for each
release without even reading it!

these little headers have always annoyed me :)
