Okay, more experimentation shows that formail wants at least a non-null-byte
file.  This works, for example:

   echo . > $$
   formail -s procmail [args] < $$

I've decided for now the default input could be /bin/test.  How does that sound?
It's small, and it's pretty much sure to be there.  The script itself is also
sure to be there, but it's five times as large.
