Following my previous posting, I have hacked up on NNTP 1.5.7 and added
facilities for logging each user's access to groups.  I've added a new
command "USER" which sets the server's conception of who you are, and
added a routine which logs "user group time" which is called whenever a
GROUP command is issued.  There has to be a previous USER, of course.

The code effort is tiny --- it took me 15 minutes --- and only affects
group.c, serve.c and clientlib.c, plus the new user.c file.  Adding code
to issue the USER command in clientlib (after reading back the 200/201
greeting) means that rrn, for example, gets the functionality for free.
