Summary: patch to allow for mass unsubscribes

Initial Comment:
It allows you to unsubscribe Emails from all your
mailing lists at once.
I ran it on 10,000+ lists on sourceforge, and it ran
in less than 10mn, which beats my wrapper shell script
by one order of magnitude or two.

(the patch adds a special list name '_alllists_')

Here's what it looks like:

./remove_members -f /tmp/badmails _alllists_
