This introduces a bunch of compilation warnings:

In end of data:
gnus/smime.el:694:1: Warning: the function ‘gnus-get-buffer-create’ is not
    known to be defined.
  ELC      gnus/spam-report.elc
  ELC      gnus/spam-stat.elc

It also sounds somewhat odd for a library like smime.el to be calling
Gnus functions (and the same goes for the other calls in packages like
mail-source.el).

And why should buffers created by those packages be killed when you hit
`q' in Gnus?  This sounds like very surprising behaviour.

Are these packages actually used outside of gnus?
Are the buffers in question intended to be seen by users?

I found many buffers created by gnus lying around after I exit, and it
seemed like all the files in the gnus directory were only used by gnus.

Thanks.

I fixed that, thanks.

I also reduced the scope of the patch.
Thanks.
