Make the checkin and the ChangeLog one lump. The ChangeLog entry is
about the work done to put this stuff into Cygwin, which was your work.
Don't repeat the mingw entry, rather just say that you imported from
there and credit Kai with that entry.
Something like this. Just subsume three paragraphs in one single
ChangeLog entry:
2009-99-99 Charles "Pseudo-Reloc" Wilson <...>
Additional pseudo-reloc-v2 support.
* ntdll.h: [...]
Cygwin modifications to pseudo-reloc.c.
* lib/pseudo-reloc.c: [...]
* lib/pseudo-reloc.c: Import new implementation to support
v2 pseudo-relocs implemented by Kai Tietz from mingw.
