Looks good.  Now the only thing that's missing is to explain to people
what to do with the server specs.  Ie, they can either type `e' in the
Server buffer, or they add it to gnus-secondary-select-methods, like
so:

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap ...))

But of course this is not specific to IMAP.

I wonder: should we tell people to set gnus-secondary-select-methods
to a list of server names, then edit the server parameters in the
server buffer?  Or should we tell them to put the whole select method
(rather than just the name) into gnus-secondary-select-methods?
