Version 1.6 preview

I've put a version 1.6 preview release under:

	 http://home.powertech.no/egilkv/newsx-1.6pre.tar.gz

To avoid the pre-version becoming permanent, I've put it in a temporary
location. I will release a proper 1.6 by the end of the week if things
go well. So please, try it out soon and give feedback here or to
bugzilla. (It may in some cases be relevant to use bugzilla, and CC the
list)

The news is:

V1.6pre - 21 jan 2003

      Aborted fecthes now updates state more consistently.

      Configure now insists that libinn and libstorage be present for
      recent versions of INN.

      Configure attempts to do more in terms of finding libraries for
INN 2.x, so that
      so --with-newslib should no longer be required except in unusal
cases.

      When we have libstorage, we now insist that we have a storage.h
from INN.
      There is no longer a default storage.h in the distribution.
      Currently, we look for storage.h  in /usr/include and
/usr/include/inn
      and NEWSHOME/include.
      For other locations, please report to [email protected] or to
bugzilla.
      The configure option --with-newsinclude may be used for specifying
which
      directory to look in.

      The dostribution contains a suggested patch for INN 2.3.4 that
installs
      storage.h under $NEWSHOME/include.

      Configure is now updated to latest and greatest autoconf/automake.
      Names of various internal symbols have changed.

      The mktemp() vz. mkstemp() issue has been looked into. The bug(s)
      introduced by use of mkstemp() should now be corrected, and a new
      internal function newstemp() has been added to replace the
mk(s)temp.

      STORAGEAPI and EXTENDEDDBZ no longer relevant for modern INN.
