I've had some problems with path definitions:
- Variable vm-configure-docdir and vm-configure-infodir are both empty
  strings. Looks like their definition in lisp/Makefile.in is missing.
- The data files (NEWS etc.) are installed into etcdir, therefore
  vm-configure-datadir should be set to etcdir too. (One could think
  about renaming the lisp variable to vm-configure-etcdir. However, in
  the patch below I've chosen not to do this.)
The patch included below addresses these path issues.

Title:
  Wishlist: Install NEWS in builds

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs:
  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?
