	We are currently using a version of news from the French
	research center (INRIA) where the LIBDIR for news is in
	a local subdir:
		/usr/local/lib/news/...

	Things seem to be ok with news, however when installing
	rn the configure command tried to establish it in /usr/lib.
	I also changed the BINDIR to /usr/local/bin.

	Now the 'rn' command seems to read news ok,  but when you
	do a followup or respond it tries to do a shell script that
	looks in /bin.  

	I thought perhaps someone out there in net-land might be
	able to comment on these conventions of using /usr/local
	for the BIN and LIB subdirs.
