Well, except this one -- I don't know if the directory name is relevant
(is it used for a default filename or something?).  If not, you might
just as well use directory `/' instead; it can be accessed faster:-)

(defun gnus-score-score-files-1 (dir)
        ...
        ;; Return a dummy value.
        (list "~/News/this.file.does.not.exist.SCORE"))))



And there is no Mailey variable to set these defaults from:

gnus.el:	(defvar gnus-message-archive-method 
		  '(nnfolder "archive" (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive/")
		             (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
			     ...))
message.el:	(defvar message-autosave-directory "~/Mail/drafts/"
nnfolder.el:	(defvoo nnfolder-directory (expand-file-name "~/Mail/")
nnmh.el:	(defvoo nnmh-directory "~/Mail/"
nnml.el:	(defvoo nnml-directory "~/Mail/"
