Since the permissions of system directories were changed recently,
cnews no longer installs because it tries to su bin to install
(instead of correctly using flags to install).

How should this be fixed?  Changing the do-install target to not su
bin will probably make it install again but I'm afraid it's going to
open a big security hole (are there any setuid programs?).
