(nnir-group-server): For native groups, obtain the server name from
gnus-select-method.

(nnir-run-swish++) and (nnir-run-namazu): Added support for nnmaildir.

(nnir-compose-result): New function unifying some code formerly
duplicated between nnir-run-swish++ and nnir-run-namazu.

This is about assigning the copyright to the FSF, right? No problem,
I'll (as)sign.

OTOH, my changes are really minimal; most of the "new" code
(nnir-compose-result) was just rearranged from elsewhere.

Sorry about that. The reason is that the "download" option of
http://quimby.gnus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ is broken (could somebody
fix this?). So when I just quickly wanted to try out nnir a few weeks
ago, the quickest was to simply cut & paste from the browser
window. And then I started hacking on the code without rembering to
retrieve a clean checkout first.

Anyway, I've replaced the file on my server
(http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~piater/test/nnir.el) by a clean
version.  Note that I did some superficial spambot protection by
changing @ to <at>; you may want to change them back before checking
in.

Cheers,
Justus
