In short what I want is the ability to put a spool file, or list of
spool files in the group parameters.

I have multiple spool files in a directory specified by
nnmail-procmail-directory, that are generated by procmail.  With the way
gnus currently works I have to have a final rule that sends mail not handled
by previous rules to that directory as a file mail.misc.spool.
Instead of the mail going mail.misc.spool, I would like it to go to
/usr/spool/mail/holder. This doesn't won't work because it's not in
the nnmail-procmail-directory, and doesn't end with .spool, so my
misc.mail group can't find it.  If I was able to tell the misc.mail
group to read from /usr/spool/mail/holder, and ignore
nnmail-procmail-directory/misc.mail.spool my problems would be solved.
