Hi Ulrich, I have added a --with-docdir option in the
lp:~vm/vm/build-issues branch, but I am not sure that it is working
right.  docdir has a predefined setting which might be interfering
with the configure file.  Please take a look.

Cheers,
Uday

Title:
  Wishlist: Install NEWS in builds

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs:
  In Progress
Status in VM 8.1.x series:
  In Progress

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?
