- mailutils/lib/* are just replacement functions for things
  like strcasecmp () etc .. or functions shared by the
  utilities.

- mailutils/mailbox/* should not need anything explicitely from
  mailutils/lib/*.  mailbox/* is under LGPL.
  In theory, if you have a POSIX compliant system mailutils/mailbox
  will build standalone.

This seems like code only use by the utilities(frm, mail, ... etc)
not mailbox.  I do not see any reference to mu_argp in mutil.c
