+The files in this directory are not (yet) part of the Gnus distribution proper.
+They may later become part of the distribution, or they may disappear
+altogether.
+
+Please note that it is NOT good to just add this directory to `load-path': a
+number of files in this directory will become part of more recent Emacs
+versions, so that you might be running obsolete libraries with all kinds of ill
+effects (cf. `list-load-path-shadows').
+
+The suggested method for installation is to copy those files that you need to a
+directory which is in `load-path'.
+
+Here is an overview of the files:
+
+compface.el
+
+       Provides the ELisp-based uncompface program.  It is excellent and
+       practical (actually you can replace lisp/compface.el with it), however
+       the author is missing and the copyright has not been assigned yet.
+
+gnus-namazu.el
+
+       This file defines the command to search mails and persistent articles
+       with Namazu, which is a full-text search engine distributed at
+       <http://namazu.org>, and to browse its results with Gnus.
+
+gnus-kill-to-score.el
+
+       Convert kill files to score files.  See (info "(gnus)Converting Kill
+       Files").
