Can we *please* get rid of these silly changelogs in the commit messages?
Either someone did something worthy of being a co-developer on the
patch, or this belongs under the --- line.
It's a bit ridiculous I think to have a 15 word commit message for the
patch, but have like 8 different bits of per-version changelogs...

While you're at it, you pay as well tab out all the do {} while (0) so
that they align. That's my OCD showing though.
Other than my complaint about the changelogs, this looks grand.
Thanks,
