From 16f485aca2193b06d182ab30dd5afe36826e92b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 16:46:27 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] Other files: stop referring to ChangeLog too

The ChangeLog idiom is redundant given any decent SCM.
Time to phase it out here.
