Oh, and before anyone bothers complaining about it, I've already fixed
the three most obvious problems with xwafenews, and the fixed version
will be available the next time the volume is released.

1. The stupid debugging message (in German) that reports the amount of
time spent parsing the subscribed newsgroups has been removed.

2. The default print command is now `lpr', not `mp | multi | lpr.'

3. The default signature file is now ~/.signature, not ~/.elm/signature.

Oh, and like xrn, it might be good to do an "unlimit" before running.

I don't expect people to actually use this.  For one thing, it lacks
"rot-13."  I consider that a serious defect.  :-) However, since it's
perl, that would be easy to change.  I'll leave that as an exercise
for someone taking the IAP perl class.
