Right, that's the whole point. I do have other files in there and also
my nnfolder-folders. To put it the other way round I have other files
in my nnfolder directory (including the correspendoning .spool files).
But that isn't "allowed" because greedy nnfolder-generate-active takes
all. This leads to having both the folder and the folder.spool file
folders which is definitely not-a-good-thing(TM). So I can have other
junk in my spool directory, but not other junk in my nnfolder
directory. That is unfair!
