* etc/ERC-NEWS: Announce the new command, and mention it at the top of
the file along with 'report-emacs-bug'.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-bug): New command for reporting ERC bugs. It
prompts for a subject, and passes it on to 'report-emacs-bug' along
with the current ERC version, with the ERC mailing list in Cc.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: Small tweaks inspired by etc/NEWS, namely to add a
descriptive blurb at the top of the file to explain what it is about
and how to report ERC bugs, add a form feed before the section for
every release, and set the same Local Variables that etc/NEWS does.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: copy ERC NEWS items from etc/NEWS, etc/NEWS.27,
etc/NEWS.26, etc/NEWS.25, and etc/NEWS.24 to here. Future ERC NEWS
are also to be added here. This is in motivated by preparation for
addition of ERC to GNU ELPA, along with the ERC manual and NEWS.
* etc/NEWS: remove ERC-related entries, and refer the reader to
ERC-NEWS instead.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
I have updated the version of ERC to 5.2, since it fixes a bug with C-c
C-SPC being bound globally by default. For the full list of changes in
this version, see etc/ERC-NEWS.

Merge from my ERC Emacs 22 integration branch. The version is now "5.2
stable pre-release". This will probably be the last change to the
version of ERC in Emacs 22 before the release, pending any bugfixes. For
details on the changes, see the lisp/erc/ChangeLog file.
Note that ERC is now invoked with M-x erc, not M-x erc-select. If you
were using the old `erc' function programmatically, use `erc-open'
instead.
