Hej,

gnu standards requires each project to have a ChangeLog file, and this file has 
to be called ChangeLog (and not CHANGELOG).
The mustux ChangeLog file has been renamed into CHANGELOG, so it can't be found 
anymore... i added
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign
to the Makefile.am, so it's possible to violate the gnu standards and use 
CHANGELOG instead...

update your cvs tree again and it should go fine

Martin

PS: i prefere ChangeLog
