While chasing a reference to bbdb in gnu.emacs.gnus, I happened to
grep in my Gnus lisp dir and quite accidentally noticed gnus-setup.el.

Does this thing have any relationship to the real world?

Here are some of the more exciting things found there:

(defvar gnus-use-installed-tm running-xemacs)
(defvar gnus-emacs-lisp-directory (if running-xemacs
				      "/usr/local/lib/xemacs/"
				    "/usr/local/share/emacs/"))

-=> 5.0.15?!? <=-
(defvar gnus-gnus-lisp-directory (concat gnus-emacs-lisp-directory
					 "gnus-5.0.15/lisp/")
  "Directory where Gnus Emacs lisp is found.")

(defvar gnus-mailcrypt-lisp-directory (concat gnus-emacs-lisp-directory
					      "site-lisp/mailcrypt-3.4/"))

(defvar gnus-bbdb-lisp-directory (concat gnus-emacs-lisp-directory
					 "site-lisp/bbdb-1.51/"))

As near as I can tell, this whole file is wondrously out-of-date.
Does anybody actually use it?
