I think at least the config for nnimap groups is so easy, that it could
be added to the normal section about imap.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
             '(nnimap "Fastmail"
                      (nnimap-address "localhost")
                      (nnimap-stream network)
                      (nnimap-authenticator login)
                      (nnir-search-engine imap))) ;; Only this line!

I'm not in favour of doing so...

I wonder if anybody uses nnir with some other search engine than imap.
If not, I'd vote for putting the imap stuff into nnimap.el and dropping
nnir altogether.
