Just getting ready to build and try it now.  I just pulled and am in the 
middle of my usual git whatchanged look around.  Looks like there's quite 
a few changes in the last day or two.

Diablo means devil, so I doubt a google would work very well for it, but 
IIRC (and I may well not), diablo was the name of a particular news 
server software app.  Meanwhile a google for xfeature turns up this (on 
the newsbin forums) for me, as the last hit on the first page:

Looks apropos.  Apparently xfeature is a headers compression feature 
standards extension that some servers make available.  It should say 
whether it's supported or not.  If not, shouldn't be a problem.  If the 
server says it's supported, it might be, particularly if pan's client-
side support is buggy, as your other comments suggest.

(Mostly OT but FWIW, I'm finally working good hours again -- in fact I 
put in 12 hours, today.  So I finally have some reasonable money coming 
in again, and am getting tempted to signup for a proper NSP account 
again.  Then I could try on more than gmane and could actually test some 
of this stuff again. We'll see...)
