Checknews(1) has been improved to cope better with rn users, who had
problems because checknews normally does "readnews -c", and readnews has
a tendency to be confused by rn's complex .newsrc files.  Now, if there
is a .rnlast file in the user's home directory, checknews does rn -c -s3
instead.

Also, I noticed, to my surprise, that there wasn't a manual page for
checknews, so I wrote one.
