Ah.  Right.  This is a problem.  I have tried to get the Powers That
Be to change the directories, but they raise the (valid) point that
this would stop existing Gnus installations from running.  Which is
bad.

Lars' suggestion was to have `server creation' wizards which
automatically offer different directories (or active files, at least)
as a default.

PS: Since `Lars' is pronounced like `lush' (I gather), does that mean
    I should have written "Lars's"?
