mblaze: Add initial mblaze setup
Wow. mless(1) just blew my mind. On so many levels. I should
write a blog post about it...
1. Call less with just the _numbers_ of the files and use
LESSOPEN to convert number -> file (or just the scan)
2. less(1) allows non-default key bindings? lesskey(1) is
new to me (and so cool!)
3. Using a combo of lesskey's and exit status, the user can
modify state (i.e. mark read) and respawn mless(1)
It's recursing on itself to preprocess, to iterate, and just
generally a brilliant use of small utils together!
