Add in NEWS for the check of remote command in netscape -> ok.
But the mozilla information is for the FAQ ??

Because, the a2ps.cf accept only one line script to execute a delegation (We
can't use comment '#'). And we don't find another solution:
if html2ps is installed : the delagation check if a nestcape run at this
 time:

  if test -L /home/kcnarf/.netscape/lock; then \
    rm -f #f0; \
    if echo '$f' | grep '^/' >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
      ${NETSCAPE:-netscape} -noraise -remote 'openfile($f)'; \
    else \
      ${NETSCAPE:-netscape} -noraise -remote 'openfile(%d/$f)'; \
    fi && \
    ${NETSCAPE:-netscape} -noraise -remote 'saveas(#f0,postscript)' && \
    #{del.psselect} #f0 | #{del.psnup}; \
  else \
    html2ps -D -o #f0 '$f' && #{del.psselect} #f0 | #{del.psnup}; \
  fi

or if html2ps isn't installed the delegation don't test this (it use alway
netscape):
  if true; then \
    rm -f #f0; \
    if echo '$f' | grep '^/' >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
        [...]
  fi

It is the configure script who add the test:
"test -L /home/kcnarf/.netscape/lock" or "true"

Are you ok with us about this test before I commit ?
