[Mailman-Developers] Problem with new bin/Makefile and Cygwin

[Mark Sapiro]

The recent 'mmshell' change to bin/Makefile.in causes a problem in
Cygwin (I really have to make a 'real' test platform one of these
days, but that's another story).

The change adds

	for f in $(LN_SCRIPTS); \
	do \
	    rm -f $(DESTDIR)/$(SCRIPTSDIR)/$$f; \
	    (cd $(DESTDIR)/$(SCRIPTSDIR); $(LN_S) mmshell $$f); \
	done

This should really be

	for f in $(LN_SCRIPTS); \
	do \
	    rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(SCRIPTSDIR)/$$f; \
	    (cd $(DESTDIR)$(SCRIPTSDIR); $(LN_S) mmshell $$f); \
	done

DESTDIR is normally null and SCRIPTSDIR is $(prefix)/bin. With the
extra slash, this creates a path that on Cygwin winds up looking in my
case like '//cygdrive/f/test-mailman/bin'. Normally, the doubled slash
wouldn't matter, but /cygdrive/f is not a real directory, it is a
magic construct that refers to the root of the F: drive, and
//cygdrive/f doesn't work.
