Difficult to install without RFTSC, I agree, which is probably its greatest
flaw.  Otherwise, no problems here.

If you mean you're going to write a sys file, at least in pre-preformance
release of Cnews, you'll break it Cnews bad.  When a single system's
sys file entry gets to be over about 20 lines long, something in 
Cnews calls AWK which blorfs on that long a line.  Making a sys file
entry that will break Cnews will be trivial in a dynafeed-like environment.

Besides, I don't understand why you'd want to do that.  determining
which files to put in ~site/to.go is pretty trivial.  Dynafeed
seems to do it well.
