Subject: motd description in inetutils-1.3.2.README should be 'message of the day'

This is very minor.

In the /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README  it is implied /etc/motd is
'message of today'.  motd comes from the military (Navy) and stands for
'message of the day'.

Also note necessary is misspelled as neccessary.

Thanks for the great work!

Here is the section:

The important features in brief
================================

- Before starting any program, be aware that all neccessary configuration
  files in /etc have to be generated first! Call

        iu-config

  once after you installed the inetutils the first time. That
  generates some files:

        /etc/inetd.conf  -  inetd configuration. See man pages.
        /etc/shells      -  Allowed login shells.
        /etc/ftpusers    -  List of users not allowed to login.
                            Set to "ftp" and "anonymous" by default.
        /etc/ftpwelcome  -  Message printed to welcome a user at the
                            ftp server before login.
        /etc/motd        -  "message of today", printed by ftp after
                            successful login. Also printed by `login(1)'
                            after successful login.
