To clarify, I do always change the NEWS and configure.in files before
running a test distcheck.
Normally I run configure <options> && make && make distcheck, so I am
running make but not checking NEWS into svn. Anyway, from my small
knowledge of xsltproc the error above is it complaining it cant find
svn2cl.xsl.
