You are welcome.  FYI I have also created a very basic wiki page about
this, so in the future people will not need to dig in mailing list
archives or Internet searches:

  <http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusMaildir>

That page should also work as a roadmap for my (future, maybe vaporware)
work on this matter.  However, I do not really know where to start,
i.e. either by adapting nnml to Maildir (given that anyway nnml already
uses a 'one mail per file' storage) or from scratch.  Hints are welcome,
but I do not assure anything, given that I am quite busy with real life
(and other work, especially for Debian).

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
