I recall that (digging ...) September Gnus v0.27 removed by you,
September Gnus v0.28 restored by me.

 ...
	* gnus-xmas.el (insert-file-contents-literally): Restored from
	v0.26 nnheader.el since XEmacs 19.13 doesn't have this function.

This was the period I was working around an extremely ugly XEmacs
internals bug that interacted very badly with nnmh.

If this is the reason those functions are still there, I think it's
safe to kill them now. :-)

It looks O.K. to me.
