$(CUR_YEAR) undefined in webwml/english/News/Makefile

[Anthony Fok <foka@ualberta.ca>]

It seems that the variable CUR_YEAR is undefined in
english/News/Makefile, so the english/News/index.en.html won't be
updated just because something is added or updated english/News/2000. 
Please check and confirm.  :-)

I was wondering if CUR_YEAR should be defined "globally",
e.g. add the line

	CUR_YEAR=$(shell date +%Y)

to Make.lang or Make.common.  I also noticed that in News/weekly/Makefile
it has already been done, but with a different name:

	# Get the current year.
	YEAR=$(shell date +%Y)

Perhaps we could reach a consensus to standardize this variable, i.e.
CUR_YEAR or YEAR, one or another, but preferably not both, to avoid
confusion or oversight.  And perhaps in english/Makefile one could do a

	s/2000/\$(CUR_YEAR)/g;
or 
	s/2000/\$(YEAR)/g;

Cheers,

Anthony
