additions to spam.assassin.prefs.conf?

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Julian,

   Could the following items be added to spam.assassin.prefs.conf
for the next edition, so that SA doesn't scribble bayes/whitelist
files in the root directory, ie /.spamassassin?

# specify a path for whitelist and bayes DB files
auto_whitelist_path        /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode   0644
bayes_path                 /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode            0644

This assumes a system-wide MS installation; I guess most sites use
MS this way?
