Gnumeric 1.3.92 aka Release Candidate 1

Gnumeric 1.3.92 aka "Release Candidate 1" is now available.

With this release we have gone through lots of old bug reports and fixed
a large number of little things that should make Gnumeric a more polished
application.

People with broken printer configurations -- you know who you are -- will
take delight in the delayed initialization of Gnome Print. A broken CUPS
configuration will no longer cause a hang on startup.

Work is underway to make a Win32 binary. Since there are a number
of problems left with the current build of it -- such as display problems
beyond row 1400 -- we are still holding it back. More later.
