Not only is NNTP getting pretty obscure and obsolete. Needing an NNTP client to use inews instead of NNTP for posting, is even more obscure and obsolete. I think EXTRA_ECONF is plenty good enough unless somebody is aware of any other gentoo packages that could take advantage of an "inews" USE flag... -- Grant
