prep for 1.4.8b

I decided with all the recent gnulib changes that it would be nicer to put
something on alpha.gnu.org for use on compile farms to iron out any bugs,
rather than going straight to 1.4.9.  So, I'm checking this in, and in a
short while, I will send a beta release announcement.

2007-02-24  Eric Blake  <address@hidden>

        Beta Release 1.4.8b:
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump version number.
        * NEWS: Describe changes since 1.4.8.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
