ANNOUNCE: 4.00.0a9 released

[Peter Nitschke]

This is pretty close now, except install.sh tried to use the
perl-MIME-tools for perl 5.8 on my RH7.3 box which has perl 5.6 installed.

>From what I see, you have both versions of perl-MIME-tools there, but not a
mechanism to decide which one to use.

I edited install.sh to use the other one and that fixed it nicely.
