mail/: Add new (temporary) libaries for which to test Rmail/mbox such that Rmail/babyl is not affected. This creates a facility/feature called "pmail" (analagous to "rmail") that can be used independently from Rmail for testing purposes. The plan is to replace the "rmail" files eventually and remove "pmail" entirely at that point. In the interim, interested developers can use either Rmail or Pmail or both (which is not recommended for the casual User or the faint of heart).

;; The GHOSTVIEW property (taken from gv 3.5.8).
;;
;; Type:
;;
;; STRING
;;
;; Parameters:
;;
;; BPIXMAP ORIENT LLX LLY URX URY XDPI YDPI [LEFT BOTTOM TOP RIGHT]
;;
;; Scanf format: "%d %d %d %d %d %d %f %f %d %d %d %d"
;;
;; Explanation of parameters:
;;
;; BPIXMAP: pixmap id of the backing pixmap for the window.  If no
;; pixmap is to be used, this parameter should be zero.  This
;; parameter must be zero when drawing on a pixmap.
;;
;; ORIENT: orientation of the page.  The number represents clockwise
;; rotation of the paper in degrees.  Permitted values are 0, 90, 180,
;; 270.
;;
;; LLX, LLY, URX, URY: Bounding box of the drawable.  The bounding box
;; is specified in PostScript points in default user coordinates.
;;
;; XDPI, YDPI: Resolution of window.  (This can be derived from the
;; other parameters, but not without roundoff error.  These values are
;; included to avoid this error.)
;;
;; LEFT, BOTTOM, TOP, RIGHT: (optional) Margins around the window.
;; The margins extend the imageable area beyond the boundaries of the
;; window.  This is primarily used for popup zoom windows.  I have
;; encountered several instances of PostScript programs that position
;; themselves with respect to the imageable area.  The margins are
;; specified in PostScript points.  If omitted, the margins are
;; assumed to be 0.
