updatemin is more portable to non-unix systems.  It compiled and ran
with no modifactions on os9/68k.  Am I the only one running C news on
a system without a bourne-shell look alike?  (There are a number of
shell scripts that are part of C news, but few of them are vital to
the functioning of a news system.)
