I get more than warnings when the byte compiling is going on.  I get
this ...

  !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "mailheader"))

... and then no `.elc' file gets created at all for each of the
files where this shows up.

Well, I took an old copy of `mailheader.el' and put it into the
`contrib' directory, but it still doesn't get seen during the standard
`make' procedure.

Aside from manually copying an old `mailheader.el' into the
`gnus/lisp' directory under the CVS tree, is there anything else that
an XEmacs/CVS-gnus user can do to get the CVS gnus to build?
