[ANN] Papercut 0.9.0 - python nntp server

[Joao Prado Maia]

Papercut is a multi-threaded news server written in Python. Its main
objective is to integrate existing web based message board software
(Phorum [http://phorum.org] is the most supported one) with an Usenet 
front-end.

However, its extensibility enables developers to write their own 
containers for the storage of the Usenet articles (messages). That means 
that the code is extensible enough that _you_ could write new containers 
to integrate the news server with other web message board projects or even
with other ways to store the messages.

The source code is available freely under the BSD license, which means you
can do whatever you like with it. I do welcome any and all contributions
to the project :)

A quick description of the changes on this release:

- Mostly a lot of testing regarding the NTTP authentication code. The 
authentication stuff should be pretty much rock solid and it was tested 
successfully using the following Newsreaders: Mozilla Newsreader, Netscape 
4.79 Newsreader, Outlook Express and Knode (KDE's default newsreader).
