(view-emacs-news): Rewrite to support new NEWS, NEWS.major, and NEWS.1-17 file naming. Add more intelligense, e.g. version 10 matches 1.10, and don't be confused by version 1.1 begin a prefix of 1.12 (etc). A numeric prefix arg also works.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
