• Use $(SED) and $(GREP) consistently
• Do not point to the template README.in

Update the release-message target to generate the full release
announcement out of the standard blurb and the NEWS file. We use

buildbot to do a distcheck.
Since we're doing some validation on the state of the build during the
release-check phase we should add the NEWS file check there.
