That should be formatted as

	extras/posix/*:
		The necessary stuff.

but I guess it is already committed now, so never mind.

You should give people a pointer to where it is, e.g.
"See the files in extras/posix for details."

Also this should be documented on the WWW site too
(i.e. in w3/news/newsdb.inc).

You should also post the extras/posix/* files to mercury-developers
so that we can (more easily) review them.
