Looks cool...  I like it too, but I don't mind editing straight code
so its more questionable for me simply because its so slow...
However, very nicely done!

You know, I hate things that modify my .emacs...  I hate using the
'save options' menu item for that reason.  Oh well, someday I had to
give in (I did so for 'customize'...).  

Anyway, my last comment is that there are so many variables in gnus
that the customize buffer is massive.  It would be really nice to make
it a bit more hierarchial.  I don't know how difficult this is to do
as I haven't glanced at the code at all.  However, it would be nice to
have some more 'topics', I guess they're called, to seperate the
different sections a bit more.  IE, under gnus-summary you could have
it divided a bit more into 'threads', 'hooks', 'display', 'scoring',
etc...  A decent plan would be to follow the info file(s) hierarchy,
which would make using custom really cool if you were reading the
manual at the same time!

Anyway, its probably too late to start adding more hierarchy huh?

Good job though!
