Yup. I've now created two branches in the cvs, r1-0-0 and r1-1-0.

Both based on r0-107. r1-0 will only see bugfixes, r1-1 will contain
betas of the few functions left to rewrite.

Hopefully nnimap is completely rewritten within a month or so, and
merged with PGnus. Then we can start adding features, making it
faster, integrate my Agent patches, start fiddling with partial MIME
fetches and stuff...
