I tried newsclean and found 2 problems.

0. I just typed "make" on my SUN3 OS 4.1. Then tested it.
   0.1 copy my .newsrc to a backup file.
   0.2 run newsclean.
   0.3 sort the backup and .newsrc.
   0.4 compared them.
   
1. "options" line does not handled correctly.
	options -n all,all.all
   is broken into 3 lines:
	options
	-n
	all,all.all

2. comp.lang.c++ and com.std.c++ lines are removed.
   I unsubscribed these groups, and they are cleared away.
   All other groups are kept as I expected.

Does anyone has a fix ?
Or did I do something wrong ?
