X#real simple program that reads a tree of "rn" newsreader KILL files
X#and spits out "gnus-Apply-kill-hook" lisp code for use in the GNUS newsreader
X#(a subsystem of GNU Emacs).  Sample ("more" output):
X
X#	::::::::::::::
X#	rec/food/veg/KILL
X#	::::::::::::::
X#	THRU 4429
X#	/recipe/j
X#	/cookbook/j
X#	::::::::::::::
X#	rec/travel/KILL
X#	::::::::::::::
X#	THRU 11021
X#	/car rental/j
X#	/renting a car/j
X#[...]
X
X#becomes
X
X#	(setq gnus-Apply-kill-hook
X#	  '(lambda ()
X#	     (cond
X#	      ((string-equal gnus-newsgroup-name "rec.food.veg")
X#	       (progn
X#		 (gnus-kill "Subject" "recipe")
X#		 (gnus-kill "Subject" "cookbook")
X#		 (gnus-expunge "X")))
X#	      ((string-equal gnus-newsgroup-name "rec.travel")
X#	       (progn
X#		 (gnus-kill "Subject" "car rental")
X#		 (gnus-kill "Subject" "renting a car")
X#		 (gnus-expunge "X")))

X#You probably want to put that lisp code into your gnus-Startup-hook.
X#Assumes: that your rn KILL files are all simple "/bla bla/j" kind of
X#lines, that your $HOME/News tree has files like alt/wax/KILL (from
X#rn's "-/" option), not e.g., alt.wax/KILL.  Naturally double check
X#the output.  I just used Masanobu Umeda's gnus-Apply-kill-hook
X#examples to make the output.  I am no lisp pro.  It does make (disk) blocks
X#and blocks of KILL files into just a few lines of lisp.  Note GNUS
X#also has KILL files if you want them. 
X
X#Took only 1/2 hour to whip up.  And I've already processed my KILL
X#files, so, er... I don't plan to enhance/fix/maintain this program.
X#Today is also my first day messing with GNUS kill code.
