The `subscribe' topic parameter

The `subscribe' topic parameter

[Per Abrahamsen]

I made it customizable.  It should probably be mentioned in the Topic
Parameters section in the manual.

With regard to `gnus-subscribe-topics' I couln't find any
documentation of what happens to groups that aren't subscribed by any
topics.

Eh, I can just commit changes for customize support as I see fit,
right?

1999-11-12  Per Abrahamsen  <abraham@dina.kvl.dk>

	* gnus-cus.el (gnus-group-parameters): Changed from `defcustom' to
	`defconst'. 
	mention that it is both for group and topic parameters. 
	(gnus-extra-topic-parameters): New constant, including `subscribe'
	parameter. 
	(gnus-extra-group-parameters): New constant.
	(gnus-group-customize): Use them.
