Subject: cancel locks

Cancel locks is part of Gnus now, so maybe it should be integrated
better. How/when should the cancel lock password be
initialized/generated? Maybe a popup question similar to when you try
to use C-x n n the first time? It could appear when you try to post
an article the first time? Should Gnus really generate this password,
as has been suggested previously? (If so, you're restricted to using
only one installation of Gnus which has access to the same generated
password. And you can't lose the file. No, the user should chose the
password.)
On the other hand, as cancel locks isn't something that is commonly
supported out there, maybe Gnus shouldn't worry about it by default?
On the third hand, if this stuff just happens in the background, the
user probably wouldn't care, and it might be nice to have cancel locks
in all Gnus posts.
