trn trees

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@ifi.uio.no>]

Well, I finally wrote that trn thread tree thingie:

----------
[***]~(   )-[odd]-[Gun]
     |     \[Jan]
     |     \[odd]-[Eri]
     |     \(   )-[Eri]
     |           \[odd]-[Paa]
     ~(   )-(   )-(   )-(   )-[Joh]-[Bjo]
     |     |                       \[Roa]-[Bjo]
     |     |                       \[YuN]
     |     \(   )-(   )-(   )-(   )-[Ste]-[Tho]
     |                             \(   )-[Ste]-[Bjo]
     |                                         \[Roa]
     ~[Gun]-[Bjo]

That looks very ugly, so it'll probably not look like that.   The
nodes and the lines and everything is (of course) controlled by those
format-like variables we all know and love.  (Uhm.)

The "~" things means that the "[***]" article is a false root.  The 
"(   )" articles are the result of filling in missing articles in the
threads.  (I've called this "sparse threads" for some reason or
other.)  

I've done a new mode called `gnus-tree-mode', and you can use
absolutely all summary mode commands in that mode.  You can display
the summary mode and the tree mode at the same time, or just use the
tree mode buffer to navigate in.  Or just the article mode buffer --
I've finally ironed out the problems with that as well, I think.

Gosh!  The ChangeLog entries since the 0.26 release is 12k long.
Which means that I must have introduced *tons* of new bugs.  :-)
