Use lower-case for function names in the ChangeLog entry.

Use lower case for function names in the comment, too (arrgghh! so
many inconsistencies!).

Also, the comment describes why the change was made, which is not
wholly helpful to somebody coming to this code fresh.  How about
something along the lines of:

/* We can't make this change if SRC is read or partially written in P,
   since we are going to eliminate SRC.  We can't make this change if
   DST is mentioned at all in P, since we are going to change its
   value.  */

OK with the comment change if testing passes.

Thanks.
