Please disregard an earlier error report on this!

It works fine on GNU Emacs 19.34, Gnus 5.4.25, except that my current
variable settings asks me for my password twice (once for movemail
presumably, and once for pop3.  Any tips as to how to get rid of one
of them?).

Trying to accomodate Xemacs, I had temporarily removed Gnus 5.4.25
from the load-path of GNU Emacs 19.34, so I was running 5.3 there
instead (what exactly are the incompatibles of .elc files of Xemacs
19.15 and GNU Emacs 19.34?  Do the latter need Lars' patches to
coexist?).

I would very much like to share elisp between the two.
