Has anybody got a $NEWSBIN/ctl/newgroup that just mails notification
to the newsmaster when it receives a newgroup control message instead
of actually creating the group?  I've got it pretty much done, but I'm
sure that someone else could do better.

Also, it appears that chamod assumes that the news system is already
locked when it runs, so I can't just tell the newsmaster to run it
directly.  Perhaps addgroup should be able to change the moderated-ness
of an existing newsgroups as well as adding new ones.  (OK, so it would
be trivial to write a wrapper around chamod, but I'd rather modify the
stock C news as little as possible.)
