This sounds fine.  Note that the next release will have a somewhat
simpler wrapper situation - john has consolidated all the cgi wrappers
into a single source file, so there now is a total of three wrappers -
the generic cgi wrapper (which is parameterized to create an executable
for each of the cgi scripts), the mail-wrapper, and the aliases wrapper.
