Here is the patch. It checks the archive existence only when the extfs.ini 
says that it should need it. But it sends the archive filename to the 
script regardless to the 'archive need' setting.

BTW: I'm getting tired with the discussion and repeated patches I'm 
sending.... You know what to do and don't want to do it yourself. It is a 
matter of few line changes, but I really don't know what do you want.
I would better give it up and make my own mc that trying to get these 
little change to the CVS code. My mtools are working here. You can always 
add the needed checks to the patch I sent. It would be educative instead 
of frustrating experience then.

Please, let me know if you are interested in the mtools extfs that makes 
use of the archive name as a drive letter.

regards
