cool!
I've attached a modified version of the python script
(gitlog2changelog.py) that takes the version window as a parameter,
and otherwise default to 1 year.
easier to integrate in our build process...
Can I let you do the Makefile.am integration?

considering the modification scope (addition in the network protocol,
and changes to upsd), and the few remaining bits to complete, it will
better stick with 2.8.0 than 2.6.3. But I'll anyway be pushing it to a
Svn branch, so that people (including buildslaves) can start testing,
since the current features set is already stable (need more testing
though!)

cheers,
Arnaud
