Gnus comprises many files.  This way, you combine gnus.el with all
the other files from the old Gnus version.  It is a pretty sure way
to chaos, IMHO.

My suggestion is to put the following in ~/.emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/gnus-5.10.2/lisp/")
(require 'gnus-load)

Make sure it comes before anything Gnus-related is loaded.

I do not view the above as "messing" with load-path.
