Don't people read ChangeLogs?

Sorry to rant, but one look at the ChangeLog would have told you all you
need.  You wouldn't have had to waste your time deleting and re-fetching
the whole of gnome-libs, nor have to sustain an useless thread.

I know that some people don't update the ChangeLog, but there are those
of us who do.  Most people at least provide an useful commit message.

	$ more ChangeLog
	$ cvs log configure.in | more

though an overhead, may obviate

	$ cd ..
	$ rm -rf gnome-libs
	$ cvs -d :pserver:... get gnome-libs
