Well -- I'm not sure I like this idea.  The backends should be as
independent as possible from Gnus proper.  Anyways, if you have the
mail backend as a secondary select method, Gnus just does a
`nn*-request-scan' without any parameters, and having to trudge
through the newsrc alist for spool files would be a waste of precious
time.
