It seems awkward that a program ('mtn') would produce an
output directory that conflicts with itself ('MTN') on
case-insensitive filesystems. I think the aesthetic
inconsistency of staying with 'MT' (or something else) would
be the lesser evil compared with having conflicting names.
'.MTN' is an alternative, though personally I think I prefer
the obvious nature of a visible filename.
Anyone got better ideas?
And 'mto' is better than 'mtn' :)
