But do we need this?  I think pop3-movemail works fine as it does
now.  In the future, people'll specify the maildrops with something
like:

'((file :type mbox :location "/usr/spool/mail/larsi")
  (pop :host "somewhere" :function pop3-movemail))

(and so on), which means that pop3-movemail won't have to worry about
these things.
