Actually, in this particular case, it is C. The only thing that needs
changing in the installation is the mail wrapper. The minimal steps to
do this without actually going into the configure and Makefile files
and only doing pieces is
0) cd to the source top level (unpack) directory
1) configure with new --with-mail-gid option
2) cd src/
3) make mailman
4) cp mailman $(exec-prefix)/mail/
Alternatively, you can skip rerunning configure and just
cd to the src/ directory
edit Makefile to put the correct group in the MAIL_GROUP= definition
go to step 3)
