Thanks for the patch.  It works, but it doesn't.

It works in that it does speed up entering in new folders.

However, it breaks mail splitting in that, at the time buffers are to
be saved, vc-before-save ends up trying to require vc-RCS, so
newly-split e-mail is not saved, remaining in open modified buffers
until I override vc-before-save and vc-after-save to empty functions
and save them all.  I don't think I lost any e-mail in the process.

I guess the vc backend code could set up some char table that enables
the mapping from RCS to rcs in order to get the correct backend file
name, but should it?

Ultimately, I'm a bit concerned about messing with the case table of
an nnfolder buffer for the entire duration of the buffer.  It's hard
to tell whether there'd be any less visible fallouts.
