Probably. I think there are several other problems:
* I don't know why paths.el defines file names rather than command
names;
* I think news-path, news-inews-program and the gnus-... variables
should be moved to Gnus files;
* Most of this should be done at runtime, not in paths.el, which is
dumped. There's no reason that rmail-spool-directory should be the
same on the target system as the build system, for instance -- it's
rather random on systems I'm familiar with.
