Ok; the first stab at weft is now on the air.

It only does text/plain, so it's not really useful yet, but you can
read a few groups with it.  (I've concentrated on the important bits,
like getting Face/X-Face support, and I'm doing smileys next.)

And it's kinda faster than mhonarc.  Which isn't surprising, since
mhonarc is a Perl script.

www-data <at> main:/home/larsi/gmane/weft$ time mhonarc -nomailto -single
/mnt/var/spool/news/articles/gmane/discuss/4480 >/dev/null

real    0m0.165s
user    0m0.160s
sys     0m0.000s
www-data <at> main:/home/larsi/gmane/weft$ time ./weft /mnt/var/spool/news/articles/gmane/discuss/4480

real    0m0.007s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m0.000s

I'm guessing that weft will segfault more, though, so I win there,
too!  Yay!
