web_page_url isn't configurable through the web in MM2.1 because too
many people messed up and made their lists unfunctional (screw it up
and you can't get to your list through the web anymore!).

You ought to be able to do it with config_list, so I'd be interested
in more information as to why that doesn't work.  But I'd prefer
fix_url.py instead for this task.

Once you've set up your mm_cfg.py with the new values, including
VIRTUAL_HOSTS, you can simply run

    % bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname [options]

to switch listname's web_page_url and host_name attributes to their
new values.  Do

    % bin/fix_url.py

for docstring synopsis.
