New 'X-Refs' field

[Bob Greene]

I have finally finished debugging the routines for building the 'X-Refs'
field up, so all future issues of Sunspots will contain this handy 
reference in the header. This information can be used to easily backtrack
and retrieve (or find) all the other issues that contain information on 
a given topic. Additionally, this should help to cut down on some of 
the repetitive postings of the same question over and over again which
I have heard a few complaints about. For normal questions, I run the 
X-Ref generator over the last 50 issues, if I see one that I think 
might have an answer in the archives somewhere, I'll run it over the 
entire archive manually (I don't do this for all questions just because
it takes a long time to run :))

Thanks for all of your suggestions and feedback over the last several
months - I hope that Sunspots (comp.sys.sun) will be able to continue
to improve and better serve the Sun user community as time goes on.
