[x]: MUST Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as

/home/contyk/src/review/772618/NNTPClient-0.37.tar.gz :
  MD5SUM this package     : 1b0257d13f38d2b71bb85d5ac76f5fd1

[x]: SHOULD No file requires outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
     /usr/sbin.

Issues:
TODO: Add the following BR: perl(Carp), perl(Socket)
TODO: Remove BuildRoot, %clean and buildroot removal from %install
TODO: Remove %defattr from %files
TODO: Change License to 'GPL+ or Artistic'
TODO: Remove useless, unversioned News::NNTPClient Provides.
TODO: Change %define to %global on line 3 if you really want to use this macro (why?).
NOTE: It would be nice to include demos/ in %doc
