	Take a look at the next set of pages in the documentation.  In 
particular, see 
<http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node7.html>, and 
pay attention to the difference between "--prefix=" and 
"--exec-prefix=".

	Trying to retrofit such a change on top of an existing 
configuration can be very difficult, and will most likely require a 
lot of symlinks.
