So my guess is that the argv limits are an artifact of the PDP-11 days. I
can't think of any reason to keep them around. I think the best path forward
is to just remove the limits and be done with it.
The result is that if an MH command runs up against the machines argv limit, it
will fail. If that's a problem for the user, they can use xargs(1). The only
additional work we should be doing is to ensure all the MH user commands are
xargs friendly, and I am pretty sure that's already the case.
