Thanks for trying it out!

It should work with these changes.  They were motivated by trying to use
only a NEWS.md with the following cfg.mk:

  gl_noteworthy_news_ = \#\# Changes in ?.? (????-??-??)
  news-check-regexp = '^\#.* $(VERSION_REGEXP) \($(today)\)'
  news-check-regexp-prev = ^\#.* $(PREV_VERSION_REGEXP) ([0-9-]*)

in tandem with an announce-gen.diff:

-  my $re_prefix = qr/(?:\* )?(?:Noteworthy c|Major c|C)(?i:hanges)/;
+  my $re_prefix = qr/## (?:Noteworthy c|Major c|C)(?i:hanges)/;

which I would also like to make configurable.

Thanks,
