InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package
is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Newsreading is handled
by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd
and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol.
This ports is the developpement version, DON'T USE IT OR TRY TO USE IT
ON A PRODUCTION SERVER.

- install $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/innd.sh (start and stop)
- change group of $PREFIX/bin/rnews from uucp to dialer to work around
a problem when using inn with uucp (rnews is not world-executable to prevent
injection of faked articles)
- don't install binaries in $PREFIX/etc
- use /var/{spool,}/news/tmp instead of /var/tmp for rnews, otherwise
rename will fail
