Gnus defines a large number of faces for the Group, Summary, and Article
buffers.  This makes it a pain for those who want impose a uniform color
scheme on their Emacs, who must chage every one of these faces.

It would be better for the Gnus faces to :inherit from the standard
Emacs font-lock faces.  After all, font-lock highlighting is not used in
Gnus.  Thoughts?
