I've been guilty of such a "waste of energy" a couple times or five
(most famously the time that I removed trailing whitespace in 600 or
700 files at once) so take what I say with a whole kg. of salt...

But in this case, I'd like to point out that comments and ChangeLog
entries are not the public interface of Emacs, so I'm not sure of the
propriety of changing "behaviour" -> "behavior" and "generalise" ->
"generalize" etc. I've always felt that it was the committer's
prerogative to use his/her native idiolect in such cases.
