Feature request: Reload all Gnus sources without restarting Emacs

[Christoph Conrad]

Hi!

I update my CVS Gnus up to three times a day. After recompiling my local
CVS gnus archive i have to restart Emacs to take effect of the changes.
I have a monster .el and "booting" my Emacs takes quite long (P133).

I tried to reload all "*.elc" files from within Emacs, but that seems to
redefine some things, the group buffer and the topics are destroyed
(group buffer nearly completely empty).

Best regards,
cu, -cc-

The `gnus-unload' command tries to unbind everything Gnusey, but it
probably doesn't work very well, I'd imagine.
