[ANN] Papercut 0.9.4 - 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 one of the supported ones) 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:

- A new caching module was added to the standard distribution, which 
should improve the performance of the server considerably. Also, more 
fixes were implemented and applied to the new phpBB storage module (which 
should still be considered in beta level). Once again Chip McClure was 
instrumental on providing assistance and help on testing these changes, 
and that is appreciated.
