I'll take a look at this, but is there any reason that this particular
rule doesn't exist during "dist"?  I would think that if NEWS is newer
than ChangeLog then the ChangeLog should be pulled during "make dist"
(or "make distcheck") even without having to call "make".   Am I missing
something?

Actually, no, lib/glib28/gfileutils-2.8.c is new in trunk.  It used to
be in glib26.  Are these files actually in POTFILES.in?
