Gnus now looks to see if (system-name) evals to a string containing at
least one dot, and if so, it assumes that this is a FQDN.  But it
seems that many people have machines where the string is
"localhost.localdomain" or "foo.bar" (or, in one case, "egon.matrix").

Should Gnus do something clever in these cases?  If so, what?
