SV: SV: Regarding rules for more then one person

[Julian Field]

Attached is a diff to Config.pm that implements this.
You can now have rules that look like this:

To:     /etc/MailScanner/rules/techies.txt      yes

Note that it has to be a full path which starts with "/" and ends in 
something other than "/". The rule will be replicated for all the patterns 
in the techies.txt file, so you could put this in techies.txt

# This is the list of all our tech support staff.
jkf at ecs.soton.ac.uk
*@techies.soton.ac.uk
jkf@*
/etc/MailScanner/rules/nested-filename.txt

Note that the file format is like this:
1) One pattern or address per line. The allowable patterns are the same as 
the normal patterns in any normal ruleset file.
2) Comments start with # and continue until the end of the line.
3) Blank lines are ignored.
4) Leading and trailing white space is ignored.
5) Further filenames can be included, allowing you to nest these files if 
you really need to.
6) If you make a loop by having a file include itself, then you're silly 
and shouldn't do it.
