Regarding SPAMCHK I can't see any benefit for bitmask return codes. We
understand SPAMCHK as a little crowd of content based tests like already
existing ones (BASE64, SPAMHEADERS or similar)
So the cumulative result of this SpamChk-tests would be a certain weight
that will become part of Declude's final weight.

The only thing that would be usefull is, if we can differentiate between
positive and negative results. Or in other words: If we want to combine or
analyze SpamChk results it's not so important if the result was +10 or +40.
But it's a big difference if the result was -10 or +10.

I'm not sure if signed variables could do this for us by using a bitmask
tecnique. And I'm also not sure if it's tecnicaly possible to use bitmasks
since the current interface for external tests is the DOS exit-code. As I
know a value between 0 and 255 ... nothing more.
