FYI, NEWS updates

[Jim Meyering]

We don't normally mention build-related fixes in NEWS,
but since it was looking like there'd be little else for 8.4,
I've noted two.

   Work around a build failure when using buggy <sys/capability.h>.
   Alternatively, configure with --disable-libcap.

+  Compilation would fail on systems using glibc-2.7..2.9 due to changes in
+  gnulib's wchar.h that tickled a bug in at least those versions of glibc's
+  own <wchar.h> header.  Now, gnulib works around the bug in those older
+  glibc <wchar.h> headers.

 * Noteworthy changes in release 8.3 (2010-01-07) [stable]
