Which reminds me.  Instead of sprinkling all the code with

  (memq (process-status process) '(open run))

which isn't very...  pretty...  (there's probably hundreds variations of
these invocations in Gnus and the other network oriented packages)
wouldn't it be nice if we had a nice, simple function like
`process-alive-p' or something like that?  It would just basically be

(defun process-alive-p (process)
  (memq (process-status process)  
        '(run open listen connect)))
