All, has anyone taken up Nick's kind offer of using these details to get the
modification scripts? I am happy to do this but can only post them here once
I do so because the code will mean nothing to me.
I am sure it is in everyone's interest for this to be working smoothly -
given we now have access to any information and a contact point in Nick, I
suspect we just need someone to own and drive the process from the mailman
side. 
Who at mailman has good inner workings of the install process and the
installation directories?
If there is any issue I should be aware of please feel free to contact me in
private.
Cheers,
   Martin.
