Thanks, Ulrich.  I have applied the patch.

What about the Makefiles in other subdirectories?  Don't they need to be
updated too?

Do we still need datadir and datarootdir in the Makefiles now?

Also, the INSTALL file claims that the documentation will be installed in
${prefix}/share/doc/vm-X.Y.Z.  But, I don't see the -X.Y.Z part being
generated at the moment.

The reason for putting NEWS etc. files in two places is to satisfy the users
that follow Emacs conversions and those that follow Linux conventions.  We
have had plenty of problems in the past with users not knowing what has
changed because they had no access to the the NEWS file.

Cheers,
Uday

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?
