I've been noticing that the information in the HISTORY file is regularly
incomplete, not understandable, and mostly useless except for "wow, look
what we've done" purposes. When we get to a release a year from now
(*grin*) I'm sure the dynamic_library_path thing is going to end up under
"shared library fixes".

Wouldn't it be better if the author (or committer) of a user visible
change would himself add a snippet to the release notes?

The additional benefit would be that users that get intermediate
development sources would have an idea what's been going on in between.
