It doesn't have to be at the same place in Emacs and in Gnus.
I.e. in Gnus it can stay in gnus/lisp/encrypt.el, while in Emacs we can move
it from emacs/lisp/gnus/encrypt.el to emacs/lisp/encrypt.el.

The gateway between the two CVS repositories goes through Arch and can
handle file moves just fine.
