Restructure meta files

* Move "COPYING" and "Changelog" from "meta/" to the top-level source
  directory. No need to have a separate directory for two small text
  files. Also, it's common practice to put these there.

* Makefile: Merge "meta/Makefile".

* Rename "Changelog" to "NEWS". The file containing a summary of changes
  between two releases in generally called "NEWS". The name "ChangeLog"
  should only be used for a detailed log of every commit.

+Since 0.8:
+    - Changed directory layout and Makefile structure. 
+      Thanks to Lukas Fleischer!
+
+Since 0.7:
+    - Added support for fstatat() and fstatat64() which were introduced in
+      Linux kernel 2.6.16 and used in recent coreutils. 
+      Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for the report!
+      This can be disabled by passing -DNO_ATFILE in the Makefile.
+    - Added a simple wrapper shell script and a man page for it. Makes it
+      easier to run commands under faked system times. It assumes that the
+      libraries will be copied to /usr/lib/faketime during installation,
+      please adjust this path if necessary. The "install" target in the
+      Makefile has been adapted accordingly.
+    - Added support for fractional time offsets, such as FAKETIME="+1,5h".
+      Please note that either , or . has to be used as a delimiter 
+      depending on your locale. Thanks to Karl Chen!
+    - Added support for speeding the clock up or slowing it down. For
+      example, FAKETIME="+5d x2,0" will set the faked time 5 days into
+      the future and make the clock run twice as fast for the specified
+      program. Slowing it down can be done e.g. by using FAKETIME="+0 x0,5".
+      Again, the delimiter to use for the fraction depends on your locale.
+      Thanks to Karl Chen!
+
+Since 0.6: 
+    Main version 0.7 contributions by David North, TDI:
+    - Added ability to 'start clock at' a specific time.
+    - Added pthread synchronization support
+    - Added a 2 second delay to timetest.c so one can observe if the
+      clock is relative or absolute
+    - Added test.sh example of 'start clock at'
+    - Added ability to disable the FAKE_STAT functionality at library-start
+      in the case that the library was compiled -DFAKE_STAT, and added another
+      test case for demonstrating this
+    - Repaired a bug w.r.t. strptime/mktime wherein 'isdst' was uninitialized
+      which led to pseudorandom +/- 1 hour results being returned in 'start at'
+      or absolute time modes
+    
+    Other enhancements: 
+    - Fixed missing interceptions to libc-internal functions and added notes
+      about a workaround for running Java programs with faked times in the
+      future (they worked properly, but often locked up at exiting). Thanks to
+      Jamie Cameron of Google for in-depth analysis and prototype solution!
+
+Since 0.5:
+    - Performance enhancements by means of caching the data read 
+      e.g. from $HOME/.faketimerc for 10 seconds.
+    - Several file timestamp related system calls such as fstat() will be
+      intercepted now. See the README file on how to turn this off if you
+      do not need it. Thanks to Philipp Hachtmann!
+    - A system-wide /etc/faketimerc file will now be used if no FAKETIME
+      environment variable has been set and no $HOME/.faketimerc is present.
+      Thanks to David Burley, Jacob Moorman, and Wayne Davison of 
+      SourceForge, Inc.!
+    - Added trivial Makefile targets clean/distclean/install
+    - Changed Makefile target test to run new test.sh script
+    - Added new test cases to timetest.c
+
+Since 0.4:
+    - Allow "y" for years of offset specification. Thanks to Bas ten Berge!
+
+Since 0.3:
+    - Support for FAKETIME_FMT environment variable. Thanks to Moreno Baricevic!
+
+Since 0.2:
+    - Intercept clock_gettime(). Thanks to Andreas Thienemann!
+
+Since 0.1:
+    - Fixed segfault when calling time(NULL). Thanks to Andres Ojamaa!
+    - Added additional sanity checks.
