I'd guess that John Romine doesn't have the time to rewrite MH
internals. He may even think that it's a bad idea. John, if
someone contributed a patch to change the FILE stuff, any chance
that you'd use it? What kind of testing would we need to do to be
sure it didn't cause any problems on platforms where MH works now?
(BTW, it'd be a pretty major change; I wonder if it would mean MH
6.9.)
Except from making assumptions about the FILE structure, are there any
other system dependencies that should be removed when going to a new
minor version number?
