Huh?

What does this code do in nnheaderxmas.el, then:

(defun nnheader-xmas-run-at-time (time repeat function &rest args)
  (start-itimer
   "nnheader-run-at-time"
   `(lambda ()
      (,function ,@args))
   time repeat))

(fset 'nnheader-run-at-time 'nnheader-xmas-run-at-time)
(fset 'nnheader-cancel-timer 'delete-itimer)

AFAIK, Gnus has *never* required `timer.el' under XEmacs, probably
because one hasn't existed.
