Good idea, but perhaps it would be more convenient to keep this
basically outside of Gnus? Like -- set up a server somewhere that
will return the URL of the charter for a given group. That way the
Gnus source code won't have to change when these URLs change.
The "server" can just be something pretty simple -- say a PHP script
that looks up the hierarchy in a list and returns the URL. That way
other news readers can use the service, too.
