this is the correct message for the last commit
I really hate it when I check in too early or too much by accident!
Maybe I should add a confirmation there to prevent me from doing stupid things.
But now what I checked in with the last commit:
- titlepage became the real titlepage, specifying all important info
- cover became the real cover to be the very first page
- the previous cover became pretitle, and moved between the other two
- my confirmation that I wrote the thesis on my own moved to the appendix
- the abstract and keywords moved to the back of the pretitle
- the copyright information extended
- the market share table is in a temporary state! (Needs verification!)
- some cleanups
Ten small commits instead of this huge one with an afterwards added message
are what I intended ... now I am in a bad mood because of this mess :-(
