RPM-based install package for ClamAV and SpamAssassin 3

[Dave Filchak]

Well I guess that this would depend on the installation being updated being
originally installed via the RPM? It will not upgrade any installations
previously done by tar ball.

Mostly just for new installs, but there's no reason it wouldn't work as an
updater.

I just wrote it because Mail::ClamAV, and particularly SpamAssassin 3, have
a huge list of dependencies. This makes them a real pain to install by hand,
especially when CPAN decides it's going to update your entire Perl
installation half way through.
