When I connect a Mac to my UNIX $HOME with AppleShare, that #!@#$%%!!
thing walks through my directories and create .rsrc directories with
file descriptions of the files in each directory.
So Gnus comes along and regenerates the cache active file, and finds
that I have the cache groups

	no.c, no.c..rsrc, comp.std.c, comp.std.c..rsrc, ...

So -- would it be OK to let Gnus ignore group names starting with "."?
I.e. replace the "^\\.\\.?$" in gnus-cache-generate-active with "^\\.".
