The primary purpose of this set of changes was to update Gnus.

Our Gnus is now inline with the final state of Lars' repo before he
moved his into the main GNU Emacs repo.  It is also the most recent
version of Gnus before upstream started removing (S)XEmacs
compatibility.

Added to that, I have moved quite a bit out of our Gnus package and
into other, better homes for said libs.  The upshot of that will be
that far fewer packages will have a dependency on Gnus.

The packages that scored themselves new libs from Gnus are:
  Ecrypto, mail-lib, net-utils, sieve, net-utils, sasl.

There were also a number of "incidental" things fixed up as I
discovered them along the way.

There is still a lot more to come before a set of packages can be
released, but the biggest thing, Gnus, is done!
