Actually, just include an EDITED version of changes. The number of
changes tends to be long, and a summary of them would be better.
Of course, given that this is vendor code, and we're not quite working
yet, I don't think that people will CARE if they don't know exactly
what changed and why. Look at some of the gcc import messages which
basically said "Upgrade to version N".
