Oops. So, what I did was only having fixed the byte code that
was made so as to funcall a macro symbol. I didn't think that
gnus-dired.el is used without launching Gnus. But I may not be
wrong at least in `C-c C-m C-a' (gnus-dired-attach). Why one
wishes to use `C-c C-m C-a' is that one wants to use one's Gnus
configuration for message sending, message archiving, etc. So,
it is not unreasonable requirement that one has to run Gnus in
advance, is it? How about making it stop with a warning like
"You must run Gnus first"?
OTOH, `report-emacs-bug', if `mail-user-agent' is set to
`gnus-user-agent', loads many Gnus modules, but doesn't necessarily
require running Gnus. If `gnus-dired-attach' has to be improved
to get to be like it, it will take time. I don't feel like doing
it very much, though.
For the other gnus-dired features, `gnus-dired-find-file-mailcap'
and `gnus-dired-print', they have no inevitability to be prefixed
with `gnus-', I think.
