How about we generate a cvs2cl changelog to get historical changes, but hand
maintain it from now on? Or is that what's happening already?

It would be great if the cvs comments were sufficient, but in reality they don't
work as well as handcrafted entries. My main problem with them is that you can't
easily write a separate entry for each file changed without doing multiple
commits.
