Bless you.  This does work for me, in that my
gnus-groups-enter-server-mode for my imap server looks like this:

K      0: Calendar
K      0: Contacts
K      0: Deleted-Items
K      0: Drafts
K      0: INBOX
K      0: Journal
K      0: Notes
K      0: Outbox
K      0: Public-Folders
K      0: Sent-Items
K      0: Tasks
K      0: Trash
K      0: saved-messages

'Public Folders' has correctly been turned into Public-Folders, but
'Public Folders' has a bunch of IMAP folders below it.  How do I get
gnus (or nnimap) to recognize the whole tree of folders?  If I go into 
the Group buffer and do 'A A' it spins forever, a 'C+G' shows that
only the above boxes were fetched.

Ugh, if gnus doesn't recognize multi tier folders either I'm going to
fart in it's general direction.

Looks nnimap supports it, as an (imap-mailbox-list) with no restraint
does return the entire heirarchy.  Grrrr.  So Why Don't We Ditch Gnus And
Write Our Own Front End To This Perfectly Good IMAP Library? (I know,
I know, put my code where my mouth is) ;)
