All right.  Then, I think the best way would be to use MH to convert
each folder to a number of files, to then compare the files pairwise,
delete the duplicate ones, and then use MH again to pack them together
to an mbox file.

inc can extract multiple files from an mbox file, and packf (I think)
can put them back together again.
