I'd have to agree - the CVS log is somewhat long and irrelevant.

Having it as a separate file makes more sense. Perhaps a release builder
script could extract that sort of info from CVS (i.e. 'cvs log prog.pl')
and bundle it with the rest of the program?


BTW: Why am I getting Oliver's replies but not the messages to which
Oliver replies? Are people sending privately rather than to the list?
It's really much more helpful if people send to the list - volume is
good and it may well save duplication and it means everything is on
record, such as design decisions.
