A new improved version of pullnews.  Great thanks to Geraint A. Edwards
for all his work.
He added no more than 16 flags, fixed some bugs and integrated
the backupfeed contrib script by Kai Henningsen, adding again 6 other
flags.

A long-standing but very minor bug in the -g option was especially fixed
and items from the to-do list implemented.

From TODO:

+ reset highwater mark to match server (-w)
+ reset highwater mark to zero (also -w)
+ add group to config (-G)
+ drop articles with headers matching (or not matching) regexp (-m)

From backupfeed:

+ pull only a proportion (factor) of articles (-f)
+ sleeps between articles/groups (-z/-Z)
+ Path: fake hop insert (-F)
+ NNTP connection timeout (-N)
+ overall session timeout (-S)

Other new flags/features:

-l logfile log to logfile (rather than /dev/null when rnews'ing!)
-s host:port add local port option (can use -p already)
-t retries attempt connect to upstream retries times
-T retry_pause wait between retries
-k checkpt checkpoint the config file every checkpt arts
-C width when writing the progress bar - use width columns
-d debug_level self-explanatory
-M max_arts only process max_arts articles per run
-H headers remove these headers from articles
-Q quietness set how quiet we are
-R be a reader
-n no-op
-P paths feed articles depending on number of hops in Path:
