BRAAK. Should test my commands before I ship 'em, that doesn't work
at all, "formail filename" is a syntax error. Formail wants it input
on its stdin. I couldn't find a way to do the deed with xargs, but
(actually tested!) this works in a Bourne-style shell:

    find maildir-name -type f|while read f;do formail <$f; done >mbox-name
