Alien is the package "magician" you're thinking of here. It has its
ups and downs. For something as small as mutt, you might try it just
to see what happens. I wouldn't use it to tranlate something critical
like libs, but for little apps it usually can be workable. Try to find
the most recent version (I think Freshmeat said 6.19???) if you can.
