We'll need something like a ~/.nimh_profile file, then, unless we want to force
the path ~/Mail upon our users.  I prefer ~/mail myself, and forcing ~/Mail
would cause problems for people who occasionally use Netscape mail (for 
example).  This is the reason I was initially thinking of having a ~/.nimh
directory.  Alternative proposals?
