I'm sure someone on this list can answer that for you, but I wouldn't imagine that it would be very hard.

Not just as well IMO. It is much easier to give a new backend like nnmaildir a try if it is already part of Gnus, documented in the Gnus manual, etc. rather than first having to download, install and then byte-compile it. In addition to more users, you'll also get the benefit of many more eyes on your code leading to bugfixes, enhancements, etc. -- (TMDA - http://tmda.sourceforge.net) (SPAM reduction for qmail systems)
