I've cc-ed the emacs-devel list in case anyone there has suggestions.
This is regarding pop3.el and its use of netrc (~/.authinfo) files.

This may be a good time to make that break. The current
gnus-encrypt.el can be turned into encrypt.el with very few changes
except for the dependency on password.el, which is in Gnus.
gnus-encrypt.el will remain as a wrapper for Gnus, using password.el
and allowing closer integration with other Gnus libraries. This is
not the real problem, though.
The root problem is that netrc.el is a part of Gnus I can't break out
(I think), so the Gnus version of pop3.el will have a dependency we
don't want. Maybe we should have gnus-pop3.el to implement what I'm
proposing, so pop3.el remains clean of Gnus dependencies?
