[Uday Reddy <u.s.reddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim, We decide the structure of the *upstream* distribution and leave
downstream decisions to downstream.  Jonathan (Fedora) and Manoj
(Debian) will hopefully tell us the distros' point of view.

But, from an average Emacs user's point of view, I think the
documentation of all Emacs packages should be in one place, modulo
version specializations etc.  That means that in the upstream
distribution it should be in emacs/etc/vm or emacs/site-etc/vm.

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Triaged

Bug description:
The VM NEWS file gets lost when distros install VM.  Change the build process so that it gets installed in emacs/etc.  

Ulrich thinks all VM-related files should go into a subdirectory $(prefix)/share/emacs/etc/vm.  Other files that could go into this subdirectory are 

CHANGES
README
TODO

Perhaps the images files should go here too?
