[Bug 999250] [NEW] Minor fixes in to mailman 2 re. courier-to-mailman.py

[Lindsay]

Public bug reported:

The contributed (by me) file in mailman-2.1.14 contrib/courier-to-
mailman.py is written to be auto-configured with proper path names by
the configure script, a task which must be done manually if not done
automatically in configure.   This should be done just as it is for the
qmail-to-mailman.py script which is properly re-written and deposited in
the build subdir.

The attached patch will modify configure and configure.in appropriately
so that this happens (only a mod to configure.in is required if autoconf
is to be rerun).

This patch also fixes a minor spelling error in
contrib/README.courier_to_mailman.  Run patch with -p0

I understand that courier-MTA is a relatively little-known MTA, as
compared to qmail.  Courier is nonetheless a highly regarded full-
featured MTA, is under active developent, fully GPL licensed, and has an
active worldwide online support community.  Qmail has a much larger
installed base, but is relatively ancient in design and is almost
entirely unsupported by the author.  Most qmail installations these days
are legacy installations.

If courier-to-mailman.py is to be included in the Mailman 2
distribution, please fully support it by allowing it to be fully set up
by the Mailman configure script.
