It is 1.8.3.

I updated cygwin and gcc along with their dependent packages to the most
recent version and that almost did the trick.  I can compile now but hit
another problem when doing 'make install'in that neither user nor group
'news' exist for my Cygwin system on Windows98.  There seems to be no
command adduser or addgroup for Cygwin according to Google.  Can I tell
configure.sh to use another user?

Best regards
