In fact I think that slowly the time might have come to change a lot
of important variables in an incompatible manner.  That will at least
show the users that something is wrong, and so they can correct it.

We need to change the files and directories used for the servers to
something unique.  For example, use ~/Gnus/nnml/unnamed/ for the
server (nnml ""), and so on.

But there is a problem with the old .newsrc.eld files.  Using the old
file with the new directory is going to be a problem, but if we use a
new file then it's difficult for users to resurrect marks.

Thoughts?
