Hmm, Linux systems have had paths.h for ages. And interestingly
enough it defines _PATH_MAILDIR as /var/mail instead of
/var/spool/mail. Looks like for really old Linux system the latter
was used, but the FHS 2.0 standard changed it to /var/mail in 1997.
So perhaps the

should just go. In any case, not a big issue, just some possible
further cleanup, so feel free to ignore that.
