so this adds at least 120K.. with *any* mutt.
hmm... mutt-1.3.27 on my debian is 465K -
while my mutt-1.4 on Solaris 1,200K.
so this would add between a fourth and
a tenth of its current size, respectively.

is this really worth it?
or shouldn't we rather link
mutt to some language to
add one?  lua? slang?
