Are there any good maildir manipulation utilities out there?

It's got some dependencies on some stuff I need to weed out before it is 
easy for someone-not-me to use. It's also not particularly well suited 
to Chris' requirement, which includes preserving the source tree shape 
in the archiving process.

I suspect Chris may need to roll his own. I'd imagine something like:

    find message paths using mairix \
    | move message files sideways, making sure there's no conflicts
