???  Usually, people do (require 'mm-util).  That searches through
load-path.  So the right one should come first.

Or do you mean that the sequence should be:

    Emacs starts
    Gnus gets added to load-path
    mm-util from Gnus gets loaded
    W3 gets added to load-path

This avoids loading the wrong one, of course.  But this is not a
solution, since it would require loading everything.  That would be
dog slow.
