I'm often faced with a similar task with RSS feeds, i.e. having tens of
these that I want to resubscribe to automatically. What would be the
syntax for RSS feeds, since Gnus asks for three entries when subscribing
to an RSS feed via `G R':
`URL to Search for RSS'
`Title'
and
`Description'

So for instance:
http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalHome.xml
NY Times Global
Funny newspaper

and this 35 times...
