There are several programs available which do that.  But the problem is 
that they don't distinguish between trivial changes and important 
changes.  Also, the output samples I've seen have been way too voluminous.

I have the sense that it would be possible to build a custom automatic 
change log report for Boost that would serve at least some of our needs. 
Any volunteers?
