The good old Jargon Lexicon defines it as the others, but adds a little history:

http://www.tuxedo.org/%7eesr/jargon/html/entry/munge.html

"This term is often confused with mung, which probably was derived from it. However, 
it also appears the word `munge' was in common use in Scotland in the 1940s, and in 
Yorkshire in the 1950s, as a verb, meaning to munch up into a masticated mess, and as 
a noun, meaning the result of munging something up..."

Incidently, I thought munge was mung... learning is.
