Well, for example, etcdir doesn't appear in the pixmaps directory's
Makefile.

Ok, I think I can live with that.  If you can include that in your patch
too, that would be great!

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?
