SpamAssassin Install Prefix

[Mariano Absatz]

Hi Julian,

I installed SpamAssassin in an unusual place (say... /opt/SpamAssassin),
configured it in the options like:
 SpamAssassin Install Prefix = /opt/SpamAssassin

and it didn't work... browsing the log I see repeatedly:
Apr 29 17:29:20 alerce2-or Alerce-MX[17638]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.15-9 starting...
Apr 29 17:29:20 alerce2-or Alerce-MX[17638]: SpamAssassin installation could
not be found

and looking at SA.pm I see that you don't prepend the possibly modified
directory to the @INC array...

I did a quick & dirty patch that is perl-version dependent... but maybe you
can think of something better (the patch is against 4.15-9):
