SpamAssassin location

[Stefan Zauchenberger]

In our situation, the target box is a Cobalt machine
that requires that the "old" perl remain untouched.

Hence, the new perl was in installed in
/home/spam-filter simply to support SpamAssassin with
MailScanner.

My concern now is how best to upgrade SA from 2.54 to
the latest version without breaking any of the other
pieces.
