xz/xznew.1
Andreas Stieger 3206fdcfc8 Accepting request 343469 from home:frispete:tools
Hi Andreas,

thanks for catching the missed parts.

To be honest, I don't get the meaning of of the 2nd sentence of the 
description in the man page, but I'm probably too simple minded for
a couple of GNU tools (code and description). ;)

Cheers,
Pete

- fix conversion: spell the missed parts correctly

- add xznew{,.1}, converted from bznew
