Here's take 2.

The pre-patch NNTP class has a long and complicated constructor. Rather than duplicate this constructor in NNTP_SSL, the patch converts most of the NNTP class to a new class, NNTPBase, which takes an already-connected socket as a parameter. NNTP and NNTP_SSL both inherit NNTPBase and create that socket in their own respective ways.
