cjep e0af88e6b2 Initial import of Leafnode 1.9.22 into the NetBSD packages collection
as news/leafnode.

Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a
few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net.

The work in this package is based on that of Ingolf Steinbach
in PR#13830. wiz@ made some suggestions as well. Thanks to both of them.

Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a
few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net.
Only groups that someone has been reading in the past week are fetched
from the upstream NNTP server. When someone stops reading a group,
fetchnews will stop reading that group a week later (this is the default
which can be configured), and when someone starts reading a group, fetchnews
will grab all the articles it can in that group the next time it runs.
