Is there any way to tell Gnus to look in a local file for group
descriptions?  (For example slrn will download all the descriptions
for all the groups and dump them in a file with lines like
<group>:<description>
Then when you go to read news the descriptions are loaded from the
local file (makes things much faster while still having descriptions
that are in most cases accurate :).

It doesn't look like it according to gnus-start.el (where it looks
like these things are read) but wanted to make sure it didn't exist
before I try to add it. (key word being try there :)

Thanks
Jim
