Hi Andy!

For the ThinkFinger mailing list: a small documentation bug from Debian.

Ah, now I understand: it seems that after Christian Neumair's patchset
about $HOME/.thinkfinger.bir support was applied [1], upstream (and me
also) forgot to update the documentation about the new tf-tool behavior.

Christian provided a patch for the README file [2], but nothing is done
for the manpage yet.  I'll work on this in the next days.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
