I think MOAP can do this already.

There also are the tools I have:

      * http://taschenorakel.de/gitweb/?p=scmtools;a=blob;f=commit
      * http://taschenorakel.de/gitweb/?p=mkcl;a=blob;f=commit

Hmm, well. Expect that my version of mkcl is quite broken. Used to have
a better version somewhere, but forgot to commit it. Maybe I should
finally contribute a MOAP patch to write the output of "moap changelog
prepare" to stdout, instead of ChangeLog.

Ciao,
Mathias
