NEWS: Updates for recent PPC changes.

  * I recently committed a small batch of PPC changes, but none of
them had NEWS entries.  This was not quite an oversight, as the
original changes were written prior to the 1.1.7 release, but now
that they've been committed they should at least be mentioned as
NEWS.
