Hacking newsmixer

I was toying around with newsmixer, that thing has HORRIBLE packaging (how about noting that "pie" is the one we're supposed to use?) and i learnt it the hard way. That appart it doesn't seem to suck :), anyway, wrote two patches, one for making it use haystack and the other for making defaults slightly more sane. On a related note, whoosh is unstable. I used 12 revisions old checkout, last one was giving me index too old exception.
