Dick is correct, it's all there, albeit cryptic for those inexperienced
with compiling and configuring software using configure and make.

I do find myself wondering why more if this can't be automated by an
installer and ready-to-run binaries, but that's just my win background -
It's easier for admins to spend company money on software licenses I
guess than to roll up the shirt sleeves and fight with it.

Turns out my GID for the mailing was 99, I found this out by mail that
bounced, the recommended script for us Postfix'ers "python -c'import os;
print os.getgid()'" returned 538...not sure why, but wanted to report
that to the developers.

Special thanks to Dick and Ashley,

Greg Long

newlist instructs you to add aliases to support the new list.

The section of INSTALL that talks about running newlist also discusses
this.

Really: follow INSTALL, step by step.  If you don't understand a step,
stop and understand it, by hook or crook.  It's all in there, and it's
all necessary.
