If you're using the current cvs snapshot, you'll need to regenerate
your aliases using bin/genaliases.  In an effort to make sane the
mapping between list aliases, wrapper programs, and the qrunners their
associated with, mailcmd has been renamed to request.

There have been other changes to the wrapper scripts, e.g. it's now
called `mailman' instead of `wrapper' so as to avoid collisions with
other `M' list management software.  Anybody upgrading from 2.1a3 to
2.1a4 (yeah, yeah, RSN :) will have to also regenerate their aliases.

Should be easy with bin/genaliases, although we'll probably need
updated Exim recipes.
