Yeah, I should stop using the xx@@@!-'-m' option of cvs and switch over
to log files and paste there the Changelog entry.

Daniel:
There is always a HTTPS link (e.g. you can click on that in your browser
or email program) to the bugzilla bug which _always_ (the only exception
is when I update the Xprint FAQ as the changes to the generated HTML and
TXT files are useless) has the patch which was commited, 1:1, including
the Changelog diff. And you will even find the output of "cvs commit"
there. I hoped that all these information isn't that useless...
