check-news target fails if NEWS file starts with a copyright header |

Hi,
the NEWS file of the GNU Autoconf Archive begins with a copyright header. As a
result, the check-news target fails, because the output of "head ./NEWS"
doesn't contain the release line that target is looking for.
I have worked around the problem by patching maint.mk as follows:
sed -i -e 's,head $(srcdir)/NEWS,head -n 20 $(srcdir)/NEWS,' maint.mk
Maybe it's worthwhile to change that in the distribution, too?
Take care
Peter
