Gnus still installs into /share rather than /usr/local/share.

Also is it possible to have the lisp files installed into
$(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp and $(prefix)/share/xemacs/site-lisp
respectively?                                       ^^^^^^

Thanks.

I can't read my gzipped nnfolder groups anymore.  (I use the crypt++
package, which gunzip's files automatically based on their contents.)
Can this change be undone?

Not binding `find-file-hooks' to nil is a security hole, so I can't
undo this.  `jka-compr' uses `auto-mode-alist' -- can't you switch to
that instead?

Could you explain the security hole?

If someone sends you a mail which contains text that triggers
something from `find-file-hooks' when read in, that could potentially
be baaad.  As in _very_ bad.

I would say that is the users own problem but couldn't you aliviate(sp?)
that by letting it to the value of
find-file-known-to-be-not-very-bad-but-instead-extremely-safe-functions
instead of nil?

I could do that, but it would be not-very-much-fun to support.

Lars, why haven't you applied my NT fixes?  To remind, the fixes
slapped `regexp-quote' around several places where you used file names 
as regexps.

I can resend them if needed.

If they were sent to bugs@gnus, I just haven't gotten to them yet.

They were.  At least I think so.  It would be nice if you merged them
soonish because they are mandatory to get Gnus started on XEmacs under 
Windows.  Other than these minor things, Gnus appears to work
perfectly in that environment.  (wow)

Now merged.

Gee.  The Windows port of XEmacs seemed to happen pretty fast.  Or was
I just asleep, or something?

Or something.  Development on it has been done in earnest since last
November.

Where can this be obtained?  www.xemacs.org doesn't seem to want to be
bothered at the moment...

ftp.xemacs.org, and it's still in beta, so prepare to compile it.  See 
<URL:http://jagor.srce.hr/~hniksic/xemacs-on-windows-faq.txt> for more 
details.

Try to use "ad nauseam" at least once per flame. It doesn't mean

  Abstraction really _IS_ a beautiful thing! :)
