FYI: 2.59c alpha release patch

[Ralf Wildenhues]

I never actually posted the release patch for the 2.59c alpha
release.  Notable change was that I had to relax the grep pattern
in Makefile.maint:news-date-check, in order to be consistent with
previous release style.  Since this only showed up after I had
alredy applied the ChangeLog entry stating "2.59c", I applied that
one without a corresponding entry, to save me some grief.

Should I
- supplement that ChangeLog from back then now, or
- undo that change now, and use a leading `*' for the next release?

Cheers,
Ralf
