sophos autoupdate

[Henry C. Chorlian]

Figured out the problem.  When manually installing sophos and
mailscanner to a different directory, make sure one makes the
/opt2/sophos/ide directory a soft link and call the actual
directory whatever you like except ide.  Then when running the
autoupdate script, the updates will progress from there.  Initially, you need the idewhatever directory so the sophos
version can be calculated.
