Ralf's name is already in our change log, but our change log is not in CVS.

I guess I need to show you that you actively took credit for the patch 
again:

The hw/xfree86/CHANGELOG files says:
      XFree86 4.3.99.903 (xx December 2003)
      + 699. Fixes to build/run on cygwin (Thomas Dickey).

Are you saying that you are not going to change that entry from your 
name to Ralf Habacker?  That really is despicable.

That's an immature statement.
