Changes log suggestion

Ian Bartholomew-3
Logging the filename of a package that is about to be installed would seem
to be a useful, and cheap, addition to the changes log.

Recorded as #662. I presume you are suggesting recording the equivalent
evaluation.

Thanks.

> I presume you are suggesting recording the equivalent evaluation.

I've implemented it using SessionManager>>logComment: with the filename as
the argument. I'm not sure that recording it as an evaluation would gain
much, but if you feel it would be better then that's fine as well.

I suggested it as I found that when reading the change log it is easy to see
when a package is being loaded, by the chunk sequence, but a bit more
complicated to work out _which package.  Adding a "package load" stamp, of
any sort, should make it a lot easier.
