Changes in this version:

  * Ed now shows the "Try 'ed --help' for more information." message if 
a invalid option is given in the command line.

  * Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU 
Coding Standards.

  * Configure option "--datadir" has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to 
follow GNU Standards.
