Here is how to add a function:

  a) copy xml file from another function, rename it
     to ocipasswordchange.xml
  b) edit this file, edit out the stuff that shouldn't
     be in there.  document your function.
  c) cd phpdoc/   
  d) ./configure
  e) make test
  f) fix errors, repeat (e)
  g) cvs add en/your/function/name.xml
  h) cvs commit en/your/function/name.xml

That's it.  Everything else is taken care of, such as
version numbers.  ./configure will modify functions.xml
as you do not touch it.  Do not write what version this
was added either.

Regarding NEWS, that's a php-dev thing.
