Since we'll be dealing with a more diverse repository set, I'd
like to do the following things:

* Move the TODO to the wiki.  I don't want to deal with merging this,
  if it changes, and it's mostly untouched anyways...
  Of course, keep a URL in the TODO so people can open the file
  and know where to look.


* Split ChangeLog out to separate files for each version, possibly
  as ReleaseNotes-$VERSION instead and allow us to be more freeform in
  our entries.

  It'll be less likely to grow huge over the years, too  Our ChangeLog
  is fairly small, so this isn't likely to be a problem with git,
  either.  Humongous, frequently growing changelogs for projects
  (previously on cvs/svn) like gcc don't work well with the limited
  delta lengths that git uses.

  Technical changelogs don't make sense in git repos since "git log" is
  so readily available to developers.  Additionally, a user-oriented
  NEWS / ReleaseNotes system would actually benefit users that get mpd
  from the tarball or vendor (our ChangeLog is actually closer to what
  I'd expect from a NEWS file).
