Is some means of specifying type/subtype handling needed for the command

There isn't.  I suppose we could add switches.  But it
doesn't seem like that would be much easier to use than an
alternate mh_profile, even if that was created on the fly.

mhcat is easy enough to script for one's own purpose, using mhshore,
but it would seem more the Unix way to fit better in a pipeline.

Would an "-outfile filename" switch to mhstore be sufficient?
It would support a filename of "-", of course.  If used with
multiple parts, the user would have to deal with the output, but
maybe that would be useful with mutiple log files or whatever.
