Mayble Volkan should update just Gnus if he wants the latest (5.13)?

Otherwise he could pull from CVS if he wanted the absolute latest
features and bugs :)  Gnus has been pretty stable; I can recall maybe 4
times it was broken in CVS, so this is not a big deal IMO.

Lars updated the website to have up-to-date documentation.  That's a
good thing, I think, because many users find a web search convenient and
fighting against that is a losing proposition.
