Sure, if it simplifies the Tcl code.  Probably would end up being a "exmh 2.0
requires at least nmh 1.5 or later" and refuse to work with older nmh.

committers of patches, but I've not been the one to turn the crank on the
release.

I'll take a look at that, I suspect that exmh's use of fonts needs to be cleaned
up since the rest of the world moved to fontconfig/cairo.
