We've had at least semi-agreement for awhile that we should have fewer
ChangeLogs rather than more, but there's been less agreement on when and
how to merge the existing ones, so the situation is confusing.

I suppose we want to treat pre-2011 change files as read-only, but I'm
wondering if an enterprising scripter could come up with a scheme to
pull all the 2011 change entries in subdirs into the main gdb/ChangeLog,
correctly interleaved and with subdirs added to filenames...
