True, that.

I did give that some thought, and it should be a trivial change to put
it in bin rather than build/contrib. I quite agree with you, but I
wasn't sure if this utility conformed to policy for files in the bin
directory. I'll look at the make install code, but I'd guess anything
in bin in the source tree pretty much just gets configured (AC_SUBST)
and then copied to ~mailman/bin during the install (assuming it's
listed in SCRIPTS in Makefile.in).
