While you're at it, please also fix the doc string, which (in GNU Emacs
23.0.60.25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2008-12-18 on
escher) reads:

    gnus-before-startup-hook is a variable defined in `gnus-start.el'.
    Its value is nil

    Documentation:
    A hook called at before startup.
                  ^^^^^^^^^
    This hook is called as the first thing when Gnus is started.

Is it `at' or `before'?  The latter matches the variable's name, the
former seems to better reflect its semantics.  Maybe it should have been
called gnus-at-startup-hook or -- since there already is a
gnus-startup-hook, which runs after gnus-before-startup-hook -- even
more accurately gnus-before-startup-hook-hook :-)
