I have applied (most) of your changes.  But here are some of the unbreakable
rules from the bible of submitting patches ;)

1. You shall write proper english sentences in the ChangeLog.
2. You shall submit one ChangeLog entry for each ChangeLog, so as they can
   be cutted and pasted into them individually.
3. Following 2, you shall list the file name relative to the directory the
   ChangeLog is in.
4. You shall add a copyright year for the year the file was changed in, but
   not for years between the last change and the year you changed it.
5. You shall collect the years in a long copyright line, first by
   leaving out the first two digits in subsequent years (1994,95,...),
   then by using ranges where applicable.
   You shall not split up a copyright line.
6. You shall fix the formatting of the surrounding code and text when doing
   changes that affect formatting.  Like the line following the changed line
   here:

> -  else if (err = dir_pathtrans (root, "CREATED", O_WRITE | O_CREAT, 0666,
> +  else if (err = dir_lookup (root, "CREATED", O_WRITE | O_CREAT, 0666,
>                               &retry, pathbuf, &filetowrite))

That's all for now :)  Note that we try to garbage collect random changes to
comments for the time we have to make a substantial change to the code (so
they don't clutter up the CVS history).  In this case, I think cleaning up
the traces of an interface name change is justified, so it doesn't apply
here.

Thanks,
Marcus
