you do it based upon the ChangeLog files that already exist.  look at the file 
you change, and then walk up directories until you hit the first ChangeLog 
file.

if you look at the existing ChangeLog entries, you'll see these are formatted 
wrong.  it's something like:
	* file (relevant scope in file where applicable): Description of change.

>         *gdb/configure
>         regenerate

while you are supposed to say you regenerated things, you dont actually 
include the changes to configure in patches that get posted to mailing lists 
and such.  generated files are not interesting and tend to contain a lot of 
noise.

never put whitespace before the #:
#ifdef __MINGW32__
# define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
# include <windows.h>
#endif
