I object to the following change that occurred in rgnus-0.75:
* gnus-start.el (gnus-read-init-file): Don't read init file when
started with "emacs -q".
I run a separate xemacs for news reading that avoids a lot of stuff that I
normally load. I therefore start "xemacs -q -f gnus" to get a somewhat
leaner process. This changes makes it impossible to get my .gnus loaded.
I can understand the need start without reading .gnus, but perhaps a
different entry-point function is needed. Maybe gnus-with-startup-file
and/or gnus-without-startup-file?

Doesn't this do what you want?
% cat ~/.emacs-just-gnus
(gnus)
% xemacs -q -l ~/.emacs-just-gnus
I didn't actually test it, so it probably doesn't...

Doh! I should have written the following,
% cat ~/.emacs-just-gnus
(let ((init-file-user t))
(gnus))
% xemacs -q -l ~/.emacs-just-gnus
Sorry about that...
