The idea I have in mind now probably goes beyond just build-aux in
gnulib.  It ought to have support for multiple backends (at least svn
and git) and support multiple languages, so it might end up blowing up
beyond gnulib's intent.


That is unless you're suggesting that it would be useful to have a
separate vcs2changelog directory inside gnulib that does all of this. 
That doesn't seem too bad an idea if the gnulib maintainers are OK with
it.  Saves me the trouble of setting up a new repo too...
