Dependancies among url-* files are screwed up.

Hi.  Here's an example backtrace (triggered in the gnus (No Gnus v0.2)
group buffer with the keystrokes

G R http://j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type/index.xml <RETURN>)

I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on.  I have added "(require
'url)" to the start of url-handlers.el, the file containing
url-insert-file-contents, and that should result in
url-retrieve-synchronously being defined before url-insert-file-contents
is run, but it doesn't prevent the above error.  Even more weirdly,
after the error, the function defined in url.el just before
url-retrieve-synchronously, url-retrieve, is defined, but
url-retrieve-synchronously is not.

There are other dependancy failures like this.  If I explicitly
eval-buffer url.el, and reattempt the above gnus command, I then get
the backtrace:

Hope this helps.
