I've somewhat lost track of exactly what you want an example of, but:
When Gnus starts, it will read the `gnus-site-init-file'
(`.../site-lisp/gnus-init' by default) and `gnus-init-file' (`~/.gnus'
by default) files. These are normal Emacs Lisp files and can be used
to avoid cluttering your `~/.emacs' and `site-init' files with Gnus
stuff. Gnus will also check for files with the same names as these,
but with `.elc' and `.el' suffixes. In other words, if you have set
`gnus-init-file' to `~/.gnus', it will look for `~/.gnus.elc',
`~/.gnus.el', and finally `~/.gnus' (in this order).
and it uses locate-library to do that.
