ebuild for nntpcache 3.0.2
Improved ebuild version; it now depends on two patches, one of them fixing a nasty bug that prevented the correct execution on amd64 (see the attached files for details). IMHO now it is quite stable on this architecture.

silly bugfix
Fixes a bug preventing the adoption of password-protected nntpservers.

nasty bugfix producing page faults on amd64 architectures
I've searched hard on the web about a patch like this, but nothing, nietz, nicht, nada. So I have developed it by myself. Now I'm pretty sure that this is actually the only way to get nntpcache running on amd64 and beyond (the nntpcache mailing list closed-down earlier in 2003), so take care of it. Probably nntpcache won't be very useful at most, but is a very good piece of code with characteristics making it really unique.

nntpcache stealth mode
Blocks nntpcache sending out headers that could harm your privacy ;-)
