'Cause I'm on linux-kernel and wine-*? :) Not a problem, I'll try

Fine, here it is again (sorry, you guys have different format from what
we use in the Wine comunity):

ChangeLog
	Dimitrie O. Paun <dpaun at rogers dot com>
	* windres.c:  Rename the -I option to -J. Introduce -I as synonym 
	for --include-dir. For backwards compatibility also support the
	old -I behaviour, but issue a deprecation warning.
	* doc/binutils.texi: Rename -I to -J. Document the new behaviour
	of the -I option.

Is this better?

I think I've signed one many years ago. But also the change is small
enough, and I herby assign the copyright to the FSF. No need to go
through the formal hassle for this small of a change I hope.
