[Mailman-Users] Separating Public and Private Archives

The mailman code puts, for public archives, a pointer to the
private directory.  This will prevent public access to the private
archives if the archives are on a traditional Unix file system.
I am experimenting with placing the archives in the Andrew File
System (AFS), where access is controlled by access control lists.
In AFS, a non-privileged user can see the private archives.

Is there an easy way to change the mailman behavior so that the 
public archives are placed into their own directory and are not
symbolic links to the private directory?  Thanks.
