0. Can we chill out a bit, there *are* reasons for this. 
1. /etc/postfix/postfix-script
   postfix looks for this in $config_directory/postfix-script
   $config_directory is where all the .cf files are located,
   and has to be machine specific.
   I could either:
	- change the source
	- override all the defaults in the config file.
   The file not human-editable so it belongs in the PLIST.
   I did not want to make our postfix installation *different* than
   everyone else's.
2. /etc/postfix/LICENSE
   I just took the Makefiles that perry and luke (I think) did. They
   had LICENSE installed in /etc, so I left it. I did not think that
   someone would blow a fuse over it :-)


As for the previous '/' change in PLIST, I discussed it with Al before
doing it.
