Can we wordsmith this after the main patch goes in?  If not, do you 
have anything you'd like in it?

I'd just say something like:

   -I- will be removed in gcc 3.5.  Users that want to object are 
invited to contact gcc@gcc.gnu.org.  -iquote is meant to replace the 
use of -I-.  See <insert html link to generated html doc and gcc 
patches discussion here> for details.

And like the ChangeLog, I'm happy to write it and send it out, but I 
will not be putting my name on it, as I don't want to be associated 
with the removal of a feature a user might be using.  Whose names 
should I put on it?

Removed from the diff.
