Summary: web interface for editing archives

Initial Comment:
This patch makes it possible for list administrators to
edit their list archives through a web interface linked
into the admin interface.

A new cgi script called editarch allows administrators
to browse by month and delete messages from the
archives.  The messages are immediately deleted from
the mbox file, but because of the overhead in
reprocessing archives, the archives aren't redone
on-the-fly.  Instead, a file is kept with a running
list of recently edited archives and a nightly cron job
does the reprocessing.  The file location is
configurable in mm_cfg.  (Note: since it has to read
through the mbox file message by message, pages will
load slowly for lists with large archives.)

In the mailman 2.1.2 source directory:

patch -p1 < editarch-2.1.2-0.1.patch
