Following Karl advice I've applied a different patch.  There is now
`bookmark-make-name-function' *and* `bookmark-make-record-function',
both buffer local.  For an example on how this is supposed to work 
look at the changes I've made in info.el.  

I think it's okay like this.  If you plan to change anything please 
tell me before I work on gnus-bookmark.el. 

Thanks,
