nntp-overview

nntp-overview generates .overview files per group from incoming usenet headers (POST, IHAVE, TAKETHIS).

Generation is done in a concurrent way and files are mmap'ed while open.

Overview file content is human readable based on RFC overview.FMT

	"MSG_NUM:",     // MSG_NUM field is not present in output to overview.FMT command but when requesting XOVER we output it
	"Subject:",
	"From:",
	"Date:",
	"Message-ID:",
	"References:",
	"Bytes:",
	"Lines:",
	"Xref:full",

OV_Handler

OV_Handler processes MMAP open/retrieve/park/close requests and schedules workers for writing overview data.

The system keeps track of last message number per group when adding new overview to group.

When integrated into a usenet server: works as a central message numbering station per group.
