Sounds good to me. Feel free!

Here's a little experiment:
http://www.kirilla.com/tmp/about/about_font_resizing.png

(Not meant as an example of what content should be in the alert.)

void
ProcessController::AboutRequested()
{
        BAlert *alert = new BAlert("about", "ProcessController\n\n"
                "Copyright 1997-2001,\n"
                "Georges-Edouard Berenger.\n\n"
                "Copyright " B_UTF8_COPYRIGHT " 2006 Haiku, Inc.\n",
                "Close");
        BTextView *view = alert->TextView();
        BFont font;
        view->SetStylable(true);
        view->GetFont(&font);
        font.SetFace(B_BOLD_FACE);
        font.SetSize(font.Size() * 1.5);
        view->SetFontAndColor(0, 17, &font);
                // *** app name bold and 1.5 size plain font
                // *** Is 1.5 too much ?
        alert->Go();
}

Might be nice to have the grey stripe and the icon scale as well.
