I'm still using some "mzlib" in *new* code.  Specifically, "getpid", 
"this-expression-source-directory", "gethostname", and perhaps one or 
two other things.  I could find other ways to do those things if I had 
to, but those definitions pop up when I search, and there's no glaring 
warning not to use them.
