As I think more about this, it occurs to me that I should point
out:
  If slocal and rcvstore moved from /usr/athena/etc to
/usr/athena/libexec, then no user's .maildelivery file will work
on a 8.3 machine.  Anybody who had used slocal in the past, will
have it break on them in 8.3, because all .maildelivery files
have lines with explicit paths to rcvstore.  Mine looks like:

to	jmorzins	| ?	"/usr/athena/etc/rcvstore +inbox -create"

I can patch exmh to know where slocal and friends are, but I
can't rewrite peoples dotfiles.
