Oops.  We -- well, to be specific, I -- made a small error in the relaynews
makefile.  As a final pre-Christmas patch, here's a fix.  Just to add some
real technical content :-), I include a small fix that's been in the queue
for some time:  having rnews report problems on stderr, as well as to the
NEWSMASTER, so that smart transmission systems can pass the detailed
nature of the problem back to the other end.  Oh yes, as a final Christmas
present, the cnews.Z file on cs.toronto.edu will shortly be current again,
the series of somewhat interrelated patches having been completed.
