I'd use MH for this job. "inc" will do (1), and you can inc from an
arbitrary file with the -file argument. You can then take groups of
messages from the destination folder and put them in their own folder
with "refile" and a bit of shell programming. Furthermore, you can do
all sorts of fancy things to determine the groupings with "pick", "scan",
and the aforementioned shell programming.
Finally, you can turn each of these folders into a single file with
"packf".

Doesn't pine support everything c-client does? And since mailutil is
built on c-client...
