Following a wild adventure yesterday tracking down
an insanity inducing bug in emacs-zmq which wound
up being related to the change to add a byte order
mark, here is a patch to add a NEWS entry so that
others will be warned that the change has happened.

PS is it a bug that "\uFEFF" reads as a symbol instead
of whitespace in utf-8-unix encoding?
