Interesting, I just noticed that the same code which was added to the
INN 1.x debian package (apparently by Chip Salzenberg, probably about
8 years ago. There is no specific changelog entry).
(Advertisement: I maintain a well patched version of INN 1.x useful for
smaller sites. But I have no clue about how to build it on non-Debian
systems...)
