I'm too lazy to sort them out even though I should. They're just old
messages with useful info that I want to remember. :-) When I had a
slow machine, gnus was too slow after about 500 or so messages, but I
have a faster machine now. :-)

Oops. I also downloaded the 2005-03-07 sumo packages. I guess I
should try b18 with these to see how that is.

No. I used to try to be on the bleeding edge, but I've run out of
blood.

"head config.status" gives the configure command I used. Useful when
experimenting with different configs, provided I remember to do the
configs in different directories.

The version doesn't really matter. I just decided to try 3.4.3 since
it was the latest around. I'm pretty sure some versions after 3.1
would produce a broken xemacs, so I stayed with 3.1, until now.
More info coming soon,
