Yup.  Not actually that hard.  One more question:

what do people do about the change is group hierarchy seperator?
Exchange uses "foo/bar" where gnus uses "foo.bar".  I just have to do
the translation myself because Exchange is more promiscuous about
names than gnus?  Is that the solution?

I see that gnus doesn't support making groups with "/" in the names.
What have people done here?
