i guess here's the difference. NEWs and ChangeLog are intended for digestion at
release time - ie sit in the tarball. the person compiling it (not a developer
- packager etc.) digests these. he may use them roe package update/release
notes, to see if he still needs to apply dome bugfix patch etc. etc.
