I thought it would be way neat do write this backend, so I have.
Well, I've written the skeleton, but since I know nothing about the
internals of w3, I wonder whether someone could point me in the right
direction.  I need functions for:

1) Fetching an URL and waiting for the result
2) Fetching an URL and returning immediately (must have that async
prefetch, you know)
3) Decoding HTML entities -- &gt;
4) Encoding a string into an URL
5) Doing a POST form thingie

Well, that should tide me over, I think...

Interface-wise, I though this would work like this:  

1) The user types a magic command (`G N') and a search criteria
2) Gnus fetches the "headers" for all the articles that match -- which
means sniffing the search results (and "next") and stuff
3) A normal summary buffer is created
4) The user reads the articles

Simple, eh?
