Helpful diagnostic for "cut -f0" and similar

[James Youngman]

2007-05-22  James Youngman  <address@hidden>

        * src/cut.c (sanity_check_pos): check arguments to -f and -c
         to better diagnose possible use of column 0, which is
         invalid.  These were previously being rejected, correctly
         so, but with a less than helpful error message.
          (ADD_RANGE_PAIR): call sanity_check_pos
          (set_fields): remove a special case for value==0, because
         ADD_RANGE_PAIR rejects it anyway.


The patch itself is attached instead of pasted inline to avoid
space/tab problems.

James.
