* mh-compat.el (mh-image-load-path-for-library): Move here from mh-utils.el and wrap with mh-defun-compat since this function will be soon added to image.el. * mh-utils.el (mh-image-load-path-for-library): Move to mh-compat.el. (mh-normalize-folder-name): Add return-nil-if-folder-empty argument which is useful when calling mh-normalize-folder-name to process the folder argument for the folders command. (mh-sub-folders): Use new flag to mh-normalize-folder-name to make this function more robust. It could too easily list the folders in /. (mh-folder-list): Fix a couple of problems pointed out by Thomas Baumann. Set folder to nil if empty. Don't append "/" if folder nil.

we use a C preprocesor not only in the normal compilation of .c files
into object files, but also for creating

	src/Makefile
	lib-src/Makefile

(delimited by comment "start of cpp stuff").  some cpp implementations
insert whitespace in between tokens, which explains the "$(dot)$(dot)"
and "UNEXEC_ALIAS" workarounds for unixoid systems and the bundled
tradcpp/ for vms.  [NOTE: tradcpp/ not yet checked in.]

during makefile creation, the preprocessor symbol NOT_C_CODE is defined.
this should not be defined for normal .c file compilation.

there has been discussion on eliminating this use of cpp and relying
solely on autoconf processing.  rms says to leave it be.
