Looks like the end is near!  Most of the fixes were documentation
related.  Further removal of hardcoded sendmail, additional
improvements to config-test, more debug output, less 'make' output.  A
&glob routine in majordomo.pl, currently used in resend, and spiff new
digest documentation from Kevin!

Give it a whirl!  If nothing more than documentation issues show up in
the next week or so, let's call it a release!  (I'll fix the doc
issues, naturally.)

Detailed changes between beta 1 and beta 2:

   INSTALL
   	defined $mailer and $bounce_mailer better.
   LICENSE
   	new version from brent.
   Makefile
   	cleanup so it doesn't spit out reams of stuff, just summaries.
   	standardized on () instead of {}
   	fixed the death if perl can't be found.
   	cleanup -- removed resend.README, moved new-list,
   	cleans up the "Make what?" question, and tidies up a few
   		other things.
   README
   	tweaked the Other Documentation area a bit.
   bounce
   	removed sendmail hardcoded -- $MAILER is defined at top.
   bounce-remind
   	removed hardcoded sendmail, other mailer cleanup
   config-test
   	added lockfile check, as well as $mailer and $bounce_mailer checks.
   config_parse.pl
   	calls main'abort instead of abort.
   majordomo
   	yet more debug stuff, tidying up of $mailer,
   	and some gentle hacking in the index code.
   	also a slight tweak to gen_cookie, per Joe Pruett's suggestion.
   majordomo.pl
   	added new &glob routine.
   request-answer
   	small typo.
   	more cleanup of $mailer.
   resend
   	clarifies bounce message from a bad file in restrict_post.
   	more cleanup of $mailer.
   	also uses new &glob routine instead of built-in <*>,
   	that apparently causes too many problems.
   sample.cf
   	fixes typos.
   	added -oi to $mailer and $bounce_mailer.
   	small tidying up.
   	$bounce_mailer  should have -t defined.
   README
   	updated for the FAQs
   README-digest
   	an updated readme file for digesting, yum.
   majordomo-faq.html
   	html version of majordomo faq
   quick-digest-setup
   	90 seconds to digesting?
   digest.1
   	yet another rev from Kevin.
   	documented -R and -p options.
