If/when IMAP support is added in, mhpath will return

IMAP URLs aren't paths, at least not in the sense I take 'path' to have
in 'mhpath'. Maybe we could add 'mhurl' to produce URLs (and file: URLs
for local storage!) and leave mhpath producing paths?
Tomato, tomahto.
"Path" can have different meanings depending on your context,
but if you want to be pedantic, maybe have a new program called
"mhloc" to represent the location of an nmh resource. mhpath
can then just be mhloc, but with a pre-configured setting that
if the resource is to a local file, it provides a local pathname
instead of a file: URL.
Regardless, mhpath should not barf if the resource happens to
be a non-local pathname. It will still return a URL for such
resources.
