do we really have to?

seems to make more sense just to put in one entry for etc/*. it should be pretty obvious, if there are no etc/ entries in the top-level ChangeLog, where to look.

This undercuts the purpose, though.

Put in a log like

2002-04-01  ChangeLog Police  <finicky@xemacs.org>

        * etc/ChangeLog: new file.
        etc/sample.xemacs: ChangeLog entries moved to etc/ChangeLog.
        .
        .
        .

It would be only 100 lines if just entries in etc/ were listed.  There
are some subdirectories (about 600 total directory entries), but many<
br>are 21.5-specific (unicode stuff) or CVS.  Others (photos, pixmaps)
could presumably be abbreviated to just mentioning the directory, too.
