Hopefully not too much, but some unloved things like nntpd might go,
particularly if they require code support and inefficiencies for everything else.

A lot of what I want to lose it things like hashimapspool and fulldirhash which
translate basically to "destroy my system" if you fiddle them, and which are
attractive little knobs that people like to try to micro-optimimise.  We should
pick one sane default and just use it.  We can have cyr_info spit out the correct
path to use for a mailbox in all cases.
