Sigh... yeah. I thought about this a bit, but if you thought C News had
to stand on its head to more-or-less-portably figure out how much space
was available, well, finding out inodes is worse. And *most* systems run
out of space first. One could modify spacefor to check inodes as well,
but it's none too quick as it is.
