Overhaul for the inn ports:

- Turn inn-stable and inn-current into slaves, as they are pretty much
  clones of news/inn.
- Update the above ports to recent snapshots.
- Allow inn's database and spool directories to be placed outside
  PREFIX (e.g. under /var).
- Add OPTIONS knobs.

Shaun Amott (shaun) · 20040118_1
For the inn ports:

- Fix build in the case where the host machine has either no DNS, or an
  incomplete hostname.
- Use a generic placeholder in the default config file rather than the
  build machine's name.
- Pet portlint(1) while here.

InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system.  The cornerstone of the package
is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Newsreading is handled
by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client.  Both innd
and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol.
This ports is the developpement version, DON'T USE IT OR TRY TO USE IT
ON A PRODUCTION SERVER.
