Until such time as Emacs adopts a single ChangeLog, please could you put
your entries in the correct file, rather than all in the top-level
ChangeLog. TIA.

IIUC this also resolves the long standing etc/PROBLEMS:

   *** Emacs startup on GNU/Linux systems (and possibly other systems) is slow.

   This can happen if the system is misconfigured and Emacs can't get the
   full qualified domain name, FQDN.  You should have your FQDN in the
   /etc/hosts file, something like this:

   127.0.0.1	localhost
   129.187.137.82	nuc04.t30.physik.tu-muenchen.de	nuc04

   The way to set this up may vary on non-GNU systems.

Right?

Sure, I can do that.  This will help motivate me to support the switch to an 
automatically-generated ChangeLog, which we were thinking of doing in January 
anyway.

Right you are, and thanks for mentioning it.  Plus, we shouldn't need to mention 
/etc/hosts or NIS.  I installed the attached.
