I agree that news should be able to run suck, but ...

Why?  The get-news script builds a batch file and uses innxmit to send
the articles to a server.  The downloaded articles in /var/lib/suck
are no longer needed.  Surely you don't want to keep an extra copy of
these articles?  And what about get-news.cnews?  It also removes
/var/lib/suck.
