Greetings,

This is the first public release of queue_repair, which is yet another qmail
queue repair tool.

Features include:

  -written in Python; no compilation necessary.
  
  -automatic, dynamic determination of UIDs and GIDs.

  -automatic, dynamic determination of conf-split; can be overridden on
  the commandline to change the conf-split of an existing queue without
  running a parallel, temporary instance of qmail for queuelifetime.
  Just recompile and stop qmail, run queue-repair, and restart qmail.

  -automatic, dynamic determination of use of big-todo; can be overridden
  on the commandline to change an existing queue as above.

  -handles basic tasks like fixing a queue restored from backups, incorrect
  ownership or permissions of directories and files, missing or extra
  split subdirectories, unexpected files or other direntries, or creating
  a valid queue from scratch.

  -can run in repair or test (report-only) modes.  The default is test mode.

  -can also be imported as a library from other Python scripts.  All
  functionality is available for customized uses this way.

  -licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.

I would appreciate any feedback on queue_repair.
