check-news is too permissive

The regexp used to check that $VERSION and NEWS match is too
permissive: if $VERSION is 1.0 but NEWS says 11.0123a, it passes.

I guess you should require egrep, and do something like

  ^(|.*[^0-9])$VERSION(|[^a-zA-Z0-9].*)$

(well, Paul will probably be against ranges, but you get the idea :).
