Could an expert please help out a non-expert? I applied this patch to 
/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi, and the private.py file was correctly 
patched. I'm not sure that this is enough, however, because the 
private.pyc file wasn't changed, even after I restarted mailman. Should 
I have patched the private.py file in the source, then gone through the 
"make" and "make install" process?

In short, how should this patch be applied?
