This step was easy enough:
# xargs -n 1 noffle -s < additional_groups_I_want_to_subscribe_to
Next I attempted to use
F runs the command gnus-group-find-new-groups
which merely chomped CPU and made a giant buffer in the buffer list,
until I hit ^G. No wonder F is disabled.
(As I don't use .newsrc, I didn't investigate importing from there.)
OK, then I did
# perl -nlwe 'print "(gnus-group-jump-to-group \"$_\")"' < additional_groups...
(gnus-group-jump-to-group "gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.announce")
(gnus-group-jump-to-group "gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.apps")
(gnus-group-jump-to-group "gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.buglog")...
Which I pasted into the minibuffer of
M-: (translated from <escape> :) runs the command eval-expression
whereupon I was finally able to use uuuuu... to subscribe them. Jeez.

It seems useful to have a "mapfile" function similar to mapcar which
would feed every line from a file into a list and then mapcar on the
list. Something like this:
(defun file-to-list (file)
"Get contents of FILE as a list of nonempty strings.
Blank lines are skipped."
(with-temp-buffer
(let ((list))
(insert-file-contents file)
(while (not (eobp))
(let ((line (buffer-substring (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position))))
(when (< 0 (length line))
(push line list)))
(forward-line))
list)))
(defun mapfile (function file)
(mapcar function (file-to-list file)))
(mapfile 'insert "/etc/hosts") ; side effect--insert every line as a string
I don't know if my version is optimal (for large files it's definitely
not), but it seems generally a very useful idea.

My next step would have been to go to the *Server* buffer (i.e. pressing
^ in the *Group* buffer), hitting RET on the noffle-server and then u on
each of the 10 groups.
Best regards,
Adam
