Hi,

We Semi-gnus people request earnestly that Oort Gnus can handle the
value of `gnus-newsrc-file-version' which is created by Semi-gnusae
(T-gnus, Nana-gnus, Semi-gnus, etc.) as such as follows:

gnus-newsrc-file-version
 => "T-gnus 6.15.0 r09 (based on Oort Gnus v0.01 ; for SEMI 1.13, FLIM 1.13)"

Latest Oort Gnus cannot startup with such a value because the function
`gnus-continuum-version' returns nil for that:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
  <(nil 5.090002)
  (if (< (gnus-continuum-version gnus-newsrc-file-version) 5.090002) (progn (setq gnus-format-specs nil)))
[...]
  gnus-read-newsrc-el-file("~/.newsrc.el")

Could you please apply the following patch?

	* gnus-start.el (gnus-read-newsrc-el-file): Work with Semi-gnusae.
