command is not executed until no other 'mhlock -all' is running, and

no relevant nmh program is running. While command is running no other
mhlock -all runs nor does any relevant nmh program run.
If 'command' is a shell script that ends up inadvertently calling something that calls mhlock itself, you just deadlocked. And blindly changing the call inside the script to have a --noblock semantic may not be right either, as then it would be unsafe to run the script standalone without an mhlock wrapper... nmh Barbie: "Locking is hard, let's go shopping"
