Because ChangeLogs are the customary way to tell co-developers what
has changed.
Note that gettextize has a --no-changelog option.

It is not the right way, indeed. Please read the section "CVS Issues"/
"Integrating with CVS" in the gettext 0.11.5 manual.

Yes this is how it's meant:
- Run gettextize once,
- Update manually all that needs to be updated,
- Call automake/aclocal/autoconf as needed,
- Commit the result to CVS.

This usage of gettextize is obsolete. Refer again to the gettext
manual.
