 Perhaps not.  md5.el is not part of up-stream Gnus now though (but it
 was in the Gnus version packaged in XEmacs). 
Yes, I was trying to post a similar suggestion some 10h ago, but my SMTP
was down :(  Let's keep our version as close as possible to the upstream
version it was synced with.

 That sounds better, yes.  Ville (or the gnus/w3 maintainer), can you
 do this or do you prefer a patch? 
I'll take care of it.  I think it is also a good idea to rename md5.el's
not in use to md5.el.upstream's to make sure that the ecrypto one is
always used.  And md5 will be removed from gnus' and w3's
package-info.in (provides).
