It's a bit much, but I don't think those bits can be usefully separated
out.  But things like `gnus-save-duplicate-list' (which goes to a
separate, ad-hoc file) would fit well as a simple persistent variable.

We don't really require much of anything, it's just that Emacs doesn't
work very well without some things.  Like gnutls.  This would be in the
same category, so I'd expect 99.7% of Emacsen would have support for it
toot sweet.

(Except for those that hate SQL sooooo much that they can't even stand
the thought of something in Emacs talking SQL even if they can't see
it.)
