The root cause of the problem is that mhmail uses, in effect, `dirname $0`
to find the location of the nmh executables.

Because /usr/bin/mh is on your PATH, it could instead use `mhparam bindir`.

Or instead of trying to find the location at runtime, configure could be
used to at build time to insert the path into the mhmail script.  And the
same could be done with etc/sendfiles.

Thoughts?
