Hm.  Hm.  I think it just _might_ be possible, given that there is
nneething.  But what article numbers does nneething use?  The idea
might be this: you create an nneething backend with the files you
want, and then you tell nnir.el that the backend to use is that
nneething backend you just created.  I think that there will be some
ad-hockery required to deal with the article numbers, though.  Hm.

Any takers?

(I've got to remember to make nnir.el be able to deal with more than
one backend.)
