It takes the NEWS file from the archive? I release gtk-doc-1.9 and 1.10 sofar 
(1.10 yesterday) and I neither got .news nor a .changes file generated. Bother 
we no .0 release. Hrmpf. I found out what goes wrong. gtk-doc releases use 
versions like 1.9, 1.10, 1.11. The script creates new dirs for each release and 
belives its a .0 release, which is wrong as its not 1.10.0.

I think for releases with such a numbering scheme this:
MAJMIN=$(echo $VERSION | sed "s#\([[:digit:]]\+\.[[:digit:]]\+\).*#\1#")
LOCATION=$FTPROOT/sources/$MODULE/$MAJMIN
should be
MAJ=$(echo $VERSION | sed "s#\([[:digit:]]\+\.*#\1#")
LOCATION=$FTPROOT/sources/$MODULE/$MAJ
