FYI: update NEWS for 1.7.0a (is 1.7.1 ready?)

[Alexandre Duret-Lutz]

I'm checking this in (on branch-1-7, obviously).

Is there anything else you think should be fixed before we
release 1.7.1?

+Bugs fixed in 1.7.0a:
+* Erase *.sum and *.log files created by DejaGnu, during `make distclean'.
+  (Debian Bug#153697)
+* Install Python files even if they were built.  (PR/369)
+* Have stamp-vti dependent upon configure instead of configure.ac, as the
+  version might not be defined in the latter. (PR/358)
+* Reorder arguments passed to a couple of commands, so things works
+  when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1.
+* Fix a regex that can cause Perl to segfault on large input.
+  (Debian Bug#162583)
+* Fix distribution of packages that have some sources defined conditionally,
+  as in the `Conditional compilation using Automake conditionals' example
+  of the manual.
+* Fix spurious test suite failures on IRIX.
+* Don't report a required variable as undefined if it has been
+  defined conditionally for the "right" conditions.
+* Fix cleaning of the /tmp subdirectory used by `make distcheck', in case
+  `make distcheck' fails.
+* Fix distribution of included Makefile fragment, so we don't create
+  spurious directories in the distribution. (PR/366)
+* Don't complain that a target lacks `.$(EXEEXT)' when it has it.
+
 New in 1.7:
 * Autoconf 2.54 is required.
 * `aclocal' and `automake' will no longer warn about obsolete
