I've been contemplating rewriting the patch to do an exec of
{ "/bin/sh", "-c", $QMAILQUEUE } instead of exec'ing $QMAILQUEUE as-is.
This would allow for putting the contents of the script named by
$QMAILQUEUE (which is frequently a one-line shell script anyways) into
the variable itself. Are there any downsides to this approach other
than the obvious overhead of adding /bin/sh to the execution path? Is
this overhead significant enough to make such a modification a bad idea?
