Don't forget this new SA can compile the rules using sa-compile and
needs re2c from http://re2c.sf.net/

sa-compile effectively speeds up spamassassin and while I didn't really
write much about it when I did the "What's new" for SA, I think it is
the best new feature!

Good to see you getting back into the swing of things Jules. Take it
from someone who knows, DO NOT over do it!
