+0.1.  OK by me.

There are a lot of important contributions that don't make it into
CHANGES.txt, so I'd still say that the canonical record is the SVN log.  And
going forward, I'm uncomfortable having to draw the line between what's
important enough to go into CHANGES.txt and what isn't.  Rather than giving
credit, the primary purpose of the CHANGES file is to provide users
information they need to know when upgrading, isn't it?

However, I don't want to be too much of a stickler and get in the way of a
nice contribution here and now.

Thanks for the contribution!

Cheers,

Marvin Humphrey
