Turns out that it is probably a bigger problem.  getopt is in 
/usr/lib/python2.2, when I moved around the lines in qrunner it complained 
that it could not find the module signal.  It looks like it is not finding 
the directory.  Is there a place where I need to set the above path.

Also for the docs, gcc is now 750, so when you build as non-root (mailman) 
you need to add mailman to the ctools group which has r+x permission.
