Findutils 4.2.5 is released on alpha.gnu.org

[James Youngman]

I'm happy to announce the availability of findutils version 4.2.5 at
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/findutils.  

The findutils 4.2.5 release includes bugfixes, documentation
improvements, and functional enhancements.  The latter are the most
important and notably include support for the POSIX options -L and -H.

The NEWS file for this release says :-

* Major changes in release 4.2.5

**  Functionality Changes
*** The POSIX options -H and -L are supported.  These control whether or not
    find will follow symbolic links.
*** The BSD option -P is also now supported (though in any case 
    it is the default).

**  Documentation improvements
***  Better documentation for "xargs -i".

**  Bug Fixes
*** "make install" now respects DESTDIR when generating localstatedir.
    (this is only relevant if you are installing to some location
    other than the one that you indicated when you ran "configure").
*** Compatible with automake versions 1.8 and 1.9.
*** Build problems on UNICOS now fixed, though the linker will still generate 
    warnings because we try to link with the nonexistent library
    "-lsun".  Edit $(LIBS) to work around this problem.
