Philipp convinced me with the pick and scan merge. We should go
for it.

Thanks for the patch to get a better picture of the change! Before
you commit it, there's some cleanup to do, e.g.:
> +void printmsg(FILE *f, struct msgs *mp, int msgnum, char *fmtstr, int width);
Prototypes without argument names.

Space after comma missing.
Should we prepare it in a branch? (As there are several parts
to change: pick, scan, format files, manpages, ...)
Am I right, that the combination:
scan `pick -sub foo`
can be replaced by this single call to pick/scan:
pick -form scan.meillo -sub foo
Or maybe even by:
scan -sub foo
Do we then still need the -list switch? It could be replaced
by `pick -form scan.msgnum'.
Anyway, ... I do start to like the pick/scan merge. :-)
