Overlap between AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTORS

[rdmark]

The AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTORS text files are practically identical, with the latter having just 14 (out of 100+) added lines.

Reading up on the common practice in OSS projects, I think AUTHORS is meant to credit the original creator(s) while CONTRIBUTORS is the living list of folks who have contributed over the years.

For simplicity I suggest we delete AUTHORS.

I agree
