Every perl module contains a Changes file, but only a very, very small =
proportion of perl module ports actually install it.

For the vast majority of modules in the ports tree, people are expected =
to find the Changes file on their own (though we make it pretty easy =
between the WWW link and by convention linking to it in the commit log =
with every update). Consistency is important, and if we're not going to =
install the Changes file, we should just not do it everywhere.

Personally I completely agree with sunpoet removing the Changes file =
from installation.
