 Here is an overview of the files:
 
-base64.el
+compface.el
 
-        As of Emacs 21, base64 encoding and decoding is available
-        natively.  So this file appears to be needed for Emacs 20
-        only.
+       Provides the ELisp-based uncompface program.  It is excellent
+       and practical (actually you can replace lisp/compface.el with
+       it), however the author is missing and the copyright has not
+       been assigned yet.
+
+gnus-namazu.el
+
+       This file defines the command to search mails and persistent
+       articles with Namazu, which is a full-text search engine
+       distributed at http://namazu.org, and to browse its results
+       with Gnus.
+
+       Please note, this file has already been incorporated into the
+       lisp directory in T-gnus.
 
 gpg-ring.el

 hashcash.el
 
-md5.el
+nnir.el
 
-       MD5 encoding is part of Emacs as of Emacs 21.2.  Hence, this
-       file is not needed for those Emacs versions.
+       Interface to various full-text search engines.  Provides less
+       functionality than gnus-namazu.el, but also supports programs
+       other than Namazu.  Current implementation is restricted to
+       nnml folders, but could be extended for other backends.

+sendmail.el

+       Copies of the corresponding files from the Emacs lisp/mail/

+       may not be provided by the versions of these files in older Emacs
+       distributions.
+
 ssl.el
 
+        Obsolete interface to OpenSSL.  Completely replaced by
+        lisp/tls.el, which supports both GnuTLS and OpenSSL.  This
+        file will be removed eventually.
