b2m is supposed to convert Babyl mail format (rmail) to unix mailbox
format.
emacsclient is a program to indicate to an existing emacs session
that it should edit a new file. It sends a message to the editor,
which pops up a new emacs window with the file in it, and a message
to the user on how to end that file editting session without
terminating the entire emacs session.
The big issue for using common (or update-alternative) programs
is to verify that the binaries interoperate with either emacs
distribution. If they interoperate, we can make up a common package.
If they don't, it might be better to provide the same programs under
different names, so they can coexist.
