Support for offline reading via slrnpull

[sanel]

slrnpull [1] is a small tool that is used to pull news for offline read. Is there any way to get it working with nntpit?

Here is my slrnpull.conf sample:

emacs   100   0   0
linux   100   0   0

When I start nntpit with ./nntpit -D -t 3 -p 8119 and run slrnpull with slrnpull -h localhost:8119, I'm getting this in slrnpull output:

I think LISTGROUP seems quite simple support, can you try it now?
