For now, I moved spam-stat-save out of the classification functions in
spam.el, and added spam-stat-save to the gnus-save-newsrc-hook.  The
add-hook is done iff spam-use-stat is set.

I am not sure how to handle a spam-stat .dribble, if you want to write
that code (spam-stat-load-dribble, spam-stat-save-dribble) I'll be
glad to trigger it from spam.el.

Thanks
