It is said at http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Options.html#Options:
check-news
Cause make dist to fail unless the current version number appears in the
first few lines of the NEWS file.
The problem is that it checks only in the first 15 lines:
distdir: $(DISTFILES)
@case `sed 15q $(srcdir)/NEWS` in \
*"$(VERSION)"*) : ;; \
*) \
echo "NEWS not updated; not releasing" 1>&2; \
exit 1;; \
esac

Changes from version 2.1.0 to version 2.2.0:
So how can I specify a higher number for the first lines?
I use automake (GNU automake) 1.9.4.
