st: adoupdate

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Credit for -adoupdate- should go to Bill Gould, period. I did some  
work to ensure that all SSC-hosted modules would work with adoupdate,  
and that the command can access a quick summary of distribution  
dates, but all of the creative effort here is Bill's. I do take  
credit (with Nick Cox) for the original version of the -ssc- command,  
which some will recall was the -archutil- package. Of course, when  
StataCorp "adopted" that command, they added features and rewrote it  
to their high standards.
