The most heavily setq'ed part of my .emacs file is my .gnus.el, which
I constructed mostly before the customization stuff came along.

Is there any trivial way for me to tell the customization stuff to
look at the current values of things, and absorb them as customize
settings?  Am I making any sense?

Part of my concern is that I'm probably setting variables that have
been long deprecated now. :)
