Re: [FYI] update NEWS on 1.5.1 in one go, because I'm lazy

[Gary V . Vaughan]

Hi Scott,

Good work!  Thanks for taking the pressure off me :-)

Please commit to HEAD as well: It's nice to have all the NEWS in one 
file when you are browsing a HEAD release.  And it helps us check that 
all sensible branch bug-fixes are ported to HEAD before we roll a new 
point-oh.

Cheers,
        Gary.
