Now only password-cache.el exists in the Gnus trunk.  However,
password.el is still in ecrypto that is an official XEmacs Lisp
package.  So, it will override password-cache.el if some program
requires the feature `password'.  I'm not sure what it brings,
but it seems that password-cache.el had better provide also the
feature `password'.  Though it might cause a trouble in programs
that use password functions, I guess it is easy to be solved.
