I admit having lost track of what the RELEASE.NOTES and NEWS and
whatever file is good for. We've had a fair deal of notes duplication
scattered across some files, and I personally stopped changing anything
except NEWS =:-) If we have pointers to that file in README, NEWS and
INSTALL, that shall be fine. Suggestion (ready to commit) below,
comments solicited.

Thanks.

Here's the suggested change set to point towards RELEASE.NOTES.
