 *   Modified:    news/tin  Makefile

Thanks.  By the way, these lines:

===
DISTNAME=       tin1.3-unoff-BETA-961109
PKGNAME=        tin-1.3.${DISTNAME:S/tin1.3-unoff-BETA-//}
===

Do you mind if I replace the second line with a regular variable
assignment to PKGNAME?  This is causing me a lot of headaches when you 
do an upgrade, because I need to delete the old package and its name
is not available anywhere in the above for cut & paste. ;)

In general, I think munging with :S and stuff for simple variables
like PKGNAME is not a good idea.  The only times I use this is when
the two variables are very far apart in the Makefile (and so the
second is more likely to be forgotten when I do an upgrade) or when
there are many things to replace.
