How's the buglist going now?

[Mike McEwan <mike@lotusland.demon.co.uk>]

Hi,
  It's a little late in the evening, but I've decided to post anyway.

  I was wondering if Lars, or anyone in the know could tell me when
expiry under the `agent' is likely to be sorted out - only I've just
done another `gnus-agent-expire' which would appear to have messed
with my .overviews - another expire sorted it out.

  Whilst I'm here, I note that in the `Newest Features' node of the
gnus manual for quassia, there is the intention to `push active file
and NOV file parsing down into C code'. This would really speed things 
up no? I've just started with C and was curious as to how this might
be easily accomplished - would the active file and/or NOV files be
passed to a C program in a buffer via the elisp `call-process'
function and the parsed output returned in another (or perhaps the
same) buffer? If I can work out what kind of parsing takes place here, 
I'd like to give it a go - some kind of high level spec would help (my 
elisp is novice too).

  I appreciate the above may be already in hand, but 'Newest Features'
does seem a rather long list and I was just interested in something
tangible I could cut my teeth on (or smash my face, perhaps).
