Minor point, but I doubt that we want to cast in stone detection of
`mailutils-mh' by the presence of that elisp file. Do we? Wouldn't it
be better it weren't needed? (It's needed for MH-E V5, but soon only
Emacs20 will still be suing that)
We might want to preferentially install the most feature-rich version by
default (first nmh, then MH, then mailutils-mh; and eventually the order
might have mailutils-mh fisrt) and have a defcustom to pick
<*> auto-detection

with the unavailable options grayed out (if we can even do that in the
custom interface; I'm not sure).
`mh-version' detects the MH version for various flavours, so I'm sure a
regexp search could tell us which flavour we're using. Hmmm. Shouldn't
`mh-version' and `mh-find-progs' be combined? We should be setting the
versions and the paths at the same thing, from similar probes.
Okay, I'm thinking out loud. Comments about it?
