Exactly.  I did not like the planner setup, where you have to go
in and put a significant number of require statements before
the thing will actually work.  So while I wanted a modular
package,  also wanted to ship a fully activated package.

Secondly, just as Bastien says, I want to make it easy to
find modules you might want to use.

But it is not easy to get the loading of the modules right,
the timing is important.  It has worked pretty well so far
though, I would say.

For the problem with gnus, I have now found a solution, I think.
I do now (in org-gnus.el):

(require 'org)
(eval-when-compile (require 'gnus-sum))
;; The following line suppresses a compier warning stemming from gnus- 
sum.el
;; because this function is used before being defined
(declare-function gnus-summary-last-subject "gnus-sum" nil)

That does compile without errors, and it delays loading gnus
until it is actually used.

I'd like to hear if anyone still has problems with the latest
git release.

Thanks!

- Carsten
