Hm, perhaps I should keep the separate branches stuff until it's
completely rewritten, which shouldn't be that far away. Hm.

I think it would be nice if it was bundled but that require a FSF
copyright on nnimap, hence the rewrite. There are only some functions
left in nnimap.el to rewrite now.

Hm, that would be easier. Maybe I should hold of 1.0 until it's
completely rewritten, then submit it for inclusion in Gnus and then
start working on new features.
