... and after doing this so at least I could get a version of Gnus
built, I realized that I got the same kind of error for `timer.el',
also which I needed to copy into the `gnus/lisp' directory before I
could build the CVS version under XEmacs.

Perhaps these kinds of problems could be handled via a change in
`Makefile' and the `configure' script, so we could specify an
extra directory (or even an extra PATH-like set of directories)
which could contain these files.  Then, we could do something like
this:

   ./configure --with-contrib=/path/to/this/extra/directory
   make EMACS=xemacs

Or alternatively, perhaps we could do it solely via a `Makefile'
change:

   make EMACS=xemacs CONTRIB=/path/to/this/extra/directory

Or is there already a way to do this sort of thing?
