Remove checks for NEWS. We're not using this file anymore. Most people don't read it. If there is NEWS that we want to provide to people then we are better off posting it on the web site (although we might want to come up with a better "news" section)

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the
HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
