I figured more people than me might be interested in this version of
nnrss-generate-download-script that downloads the RSS files in
parallel and generates the script in the nnrss directory rather than
inserting it in the current buffer.  I've also changed a few uses of
second to nth 1 since second is from the cl package.

One other thing: I don't really /get/ nnoo, and this makes it a bit
difficult to understand the different back ends.  Does any
documentation exist anywhere?

Could you send a context diff instead of a plain patch?  The latter
is kinda hard to read...

(diff --unified, for instance.)

See the "Writing New Back Ends" node in the Gnus manual.

Sorry, --unified wasn't supported by the version of diff I was using.

Thanks.  I will now stop trying to understand Oort with the 5.9.0
manual. :)

Ok, looks good.  Have you signed FSF copyright assignment papers?
