Another Emacs/XEmacs incompatibility I'd forgotten.

I find this is the code:

(defun gnus-region-active-p ()
  "Say whether the region is active."
  (and (boundp 'transient-mark-mode)
       transient-mark-mode
       (boundp 'mark-active)
       mark-active))

But that's not really what we want here, is it?  I want this to work
even though `transient-mark-mode' isn't in use.  So I could just make
a new one that doesn't include that test.

But the XEmacs version of this function is:

(defalias 'gnus-region-active-p 'region-active-p)

Does that include the transient mark mode stuff, or not?
