There were two last-minute fixes of the C library: one to the `getmntent'
function in case of Stacker drives, the other to `fseek' and `ftell' to
make them work correctly on text files.

If everything goes according to plan, I'll upload the v2.0 FAQ (which
generates the HTML and the ASCII versions, together with Info and a few
other formats, automatically from the same source) next week. (Wish me a
pleasant, uninterrupted week-end. ;-) Just remember that writing a FAQ
before some time has passed since the release and people had a chance of
actually *Asking* the Questions (let alone asking them *Frequently*) is
usually a bad idea, so don't expect the first version of the FAQ to hit
every important point, OK?
