You should be able to specify multiple spool files, ala VM.  I would
propose renaming nnmail-spool-file -> nnmail-spool-files, ala
vm-spool-files.  I get mail from several places, and currently I can't get
to all of it from within Gnus.

I'd like to be able to say:

(setq nnmail-spool-files '("po:wmperry@aventail.com"
                           "po:wmperry@oz.net"
                           "/var/spool/mail/wmperry"))

To get mail from my aventail account, my ISP account, and the local spool
file.  This would entail changes to the pop support to cache passwords
based on username/host.

It actually looks like nnmail is already smart enough to deal with multiple
spool files, just nnmail-get-spool-files needs to have new code to deal
with nnmail-spool-files being a list.

Anybody want to hack on this?  I might get to it this weekend otherwise.
