I've probably done a couple of dozen Mailman implementations by now and
feel confident in saying that the only thing consistent about installing
Mailman on *NIX is that it is inconsistent.  I don't think this is a bad
reflection on Mailman at all!  Indeed, I think that it is remarkable how
flexible Mailman is.  But the flexibility becomes much more rigid after
the software is compiled.  That said, I think binaries are a fairly
difficult thing to do right on more highly varied platforms like Linux.
