Summary: Don't buffer STDOUT and STDERR

Initial Comment:
It is desirable to allow sb_server STDOUT/STDERR to be 
unbuffered so that sb_server STDOUT and STDERR appears 
in syslog in a timely manner
e.g.
sb_server.py | logger -t spambayes 2>&1 &

I am currently adding -u
e.g.
#!/usr/local/bin/python -u

Otherwise nothing shows up in syslog until the buffer 
is flushed which is not on a per line basis.

If you are running from source, then it is up to you what
you pass to Python as stdout/stderr/stdin.  If this is what
you want, then you could achieve the same effect with

python -u sb_server.py | logger -t spambayes 2> &1 &

without having to modify any of the files.

For the binary versions, we open the log files unbuffered.
