I have 88 mail groups (all at level 2 (nntp is level 3)).  Doing a '2 g'
is equivalent to doing M-g on each group, each of which does an
nnml-request-scan.

That's slow on an NFS mounted spool.  I don't even want to imagine the
costs of POP.

I needed something that would do a single nnml-request-scan, and then
update the appropriate groups lines.
