new snapshot: beta release imminent

[Jim Meyering]

I've just made a new snapshot.
This may be the last one before the upcoming beta release,
so please give it a good work-out.  If there aren't too many
problems, I'll release coreutils-6.9.90 this week.

Now, it also passes all tests on big-endian processors like sparc.
Note that I generated configure etc. using the very latest autoconf,
so if you try the snapshot, you'll be testing that code, too.

One pending gotcha: if you build with an old libintl installation
and without disabling NLS, some tests may fail.  That happens
at least on NetBSD 1.6.  There, use ./configure --disable-nls
to make all tests pass.

Remember, if you want to test with a compiler that's so crufty that
it can't deal with declarations-after-stmts, first apply the patch
mentioned in README.
