Mail::Box has been written platform independently, but gives some
problems on Windows still:
  1) some of the tests fail because the folder contains CR-LF in stead
     of LF line separators: Content-Length lines are different than
     expected. No real problem, just installation warnings.
  2) Windows does not allow some file handle actions, for instance
     a rename of an open file.  I have asked for help in this area a
     few times, but even the Windows programmers hesitate to dive
     into that code.  Related to Mail::Box::write()
MacOSX will work, as it is a UNIX.  Other platforms? No idea.  I use
File::Spec everywhere, but they may have limited file features as well.
