I'm sorry for this. This might happen (only?) if you've modified the  
NEWS file in your local working copy but didn't run "make" after that,  
which would have created the ChangeLog file so that its creation rule  
wouldn't have triggered during "make distcheck"... anyway, the file  
macros/svn2cl.xsl needs to be added to EXTRA_DIST in the top-level  
Makefile.am because it's necessary for this rule.

I don't know why these are being complained about. These files have  
been existing for quite some time by now.
