* Version 5.3.1.

Don't embed `this'-style quotes in format strings.
* src/tr.c: Rather than this: error (..., "...`%s'...", arg);
do this: error (..., "...%s...", quote (arg));
** Improved portability
+ hostid now prints exactly 8 hexadecimal digits, possibly with leading zeros,
+ and without any spurious leading "fff..." on 64-bit hosts.
+
nice now works on Darwin 7.7.0 in spite of its invalid definition of NZERO.
`rm -r' can remove all entries in a directory even when it is on a
