Although I would like to have a hand maintained ChangeLog file please
note that the cvs2cl utility has a --fsf flag that generates the somewhat
more readable:

2000-11-18 02:06  mark

        * ChangeLog, java/util/jar/Attributes.java,
        java/util/jar/JarFile.java: Merge with libgcj (fixes by Anthony
        Green and Mark Wielaard) 
        * java/util/jar/Attributes.java: Correct comment spelling.  
        * java/util/jar/JarFile.java: Constructor that takes mode now calls
        super. Don't call java.util.zip.ZipFile.getEntry twice.  

Cheers,

Mark
