Yes, that's why I end up with '!=', after some tests. While automake does not complain with '!=', this BSD make syntax is still not POSIX approved and not clear if later automake will issue a warning here too. Another option is to have configure to create the list of NEWS-* and pass it in a variable for Makefile generation. The issue, here (but with very low impact in the day-by-day development) is that adding a new NEWS-XX file will require the developer to run configure again to let it update Makefile.
