Hugs98 Oct2002 release candidate available

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Hi there,

thanks for the report:

- the -L option to cp is a GNUism (I believe), but isn't
  really needed here (so I've dropped it.)
- failure to compile Foreign.C.Error is due to the configure
  script not checking for limits.h. This has been fixed in
  the CVS sources, but to get going, just add limits.h
  to the AC_CHECK_HEADERS list in src/unix/configure.in
  (followed by the use of 'autoconf' to regenerate a
   configure script.)
