Comment 18 for bug 612222

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
