Complain all you want about the lack of gloss in the C news
installation script. It's still a big improvement over B news
installation. Oh, you all remember B news, don't you? B news, with its
localize.sh file and annoying little ed script that was such a pain to
get right? Yeah, that one.

Count your blessings, and be sure C news gets all the credit it deserves.
